Jinkies! I remember when I was about 10, JPI died and JPII became pope...there was a lot of talk then about the next pope after him being the last pope and then there'd be world peace (does anyone else recall it this way?). It's funny that now the buzz is about the end of the world...well, the end of humankind sure would bring about peace.
In the first link, (pre-decision) NewsMax mentioned the St. Benedict's claim that this pope would be of his ranks...interesting...the order of the olive.
I'm getting paraniod...the new pope does resemble the emperor...funny links!
