Interesting

As you might have guessed from previous posts, since it's the big news item at the moment, I've occasionally been browsing papacy-related material online in my break periods. There's an interesting article in the National Catholic Reporter which has a 1997 statement from Ratzinger on whether the Holy Spirit picks the Pope. His answer: Kind of, but in a sense not really: "There are too many popes the Holy Spirit would obviously not have picked."
