today people across the world have watched the ceremony and historical proceedings in Vatican City with anticipation and joy. Today the Catholic Church receives its 265th Pope. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger rises to his new name, Pope Benedict XVI, and takes with him the blessings of Catholics across the world. In a time of global unrest and terrorism, people of all faiths need to join together in prayerful contemplation of what we hope the world can become. Pope John Paul II brought the church to billions of people and Pope Benedict XVI inherits the throne of Saint Peter the Fisherman at a precarious time in world history. Our prayers are with him and for our collective salvation. ____________________
