Habemus Papam!

How exciting! "We have a Pope!"

As our 6-yo daughter said, "We're not pope-less anymore!"

No, we're not.

And that wailing and gnashing of teeth you hear is from the liberals, who cannot believe that we have another "conservative" pope.

But he's not conservative, nor was Pope John Paul II -- except in the sense of "conserving the truth". They're not afraid to boldly proclaim it.

The Holy Spirit has not abandoned His Church.
