This past weekend I went to a wedding party for my sister in New York. Not surprisingly I was asked what I think of the new Pope, since the rest of my family and their friends are not Catholic but know that I am. During the conversation I asked one of the guests who is a native of Germany how she had felt about a German getting elected pope. She told me she thought it was pretty cool, even though she isn't Catholic. She thought it put some sort of closure on War World II and its consequences. I hadn't thought about it that way. I know many FYMers don't like his views on gays, contraception, etc, etc, and I don't want to go there. Do you agree with this particular German view or think it has merit?
