Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church elected Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany Tuesday as the new pope to succeed John Paul II, reaching an early agreement on the second day of voting.He took the name of Benedict XVI.
What I liked about this article was a quote from Pope Benedict:
An adult faith does not follow the waves of fashion and the latest novelty.Very cool. I wonder how long until our faith is an adult faith.

Our faith is an adult fait. We don't follow fashions and trends.
Considering the Catholic church is nearly two thousand years old and other religions are thousands of years old, I don't think our 175-year-old church can be considered an adult yet.
We grow up fast. Besides that we are the RESTORED Church, so we jsut look young, but we are really much older than that.
I would say our faith is a very old spirit in a very young body..
Our church isn't older than 175 years. It is much different than what existed at the meridian of time or in more simpler forms previous to that.
Alison, that's not a good analogy since all persons (adults and children) are young bodies with very old spirits. ;)
I think it is. We are mature. Of course we are...now can't say the same for all the MEMBERS, young or old, but speaking for myself...
gee Mary.. you are actually saying you are mature out loud in public??? Ok you know I just have to tell Dad about that don't you? hehehe.. and as for the comment about being an adult faith does that mean we have to start acting like adults now?
hehe, Well Mum, I *try* to be. My children expect it, they already think their father is silly :)
MY personal faith will be mature when *I* no longer follow fashions or trends at the expense of my spirit.
