With the possibility of a new Pope from the third world,from Africa or at least one from the tradition of Liberation Theology,I guess the Cardnals decided to play it safe.The new Pope is a conservative. Probably more so than the previous Pope. Being from Germany,shouldn't he spell his new name,Pope BenediKt XVI?
