So Ratzinger got it, eh?

I am surprised at that.

I am not surprised that it's an ultra conservative however.

Ratzinger might even be more conservative than JP2.

Just FYI, the office Ratzinger has headed up for the past several years, The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has been around for a long time. In fact, it has had another name, The Inquisition. In some ways, it hasn't changed.
