HABEMUS PAPAM!!!!!

Cardinal Ratzinger of Germany elected Pope Benedict XVI.



But the new pontiff faces new issues: the need for dialogue with Islam, the divisions between the wealthy north and the poor south as well as problems within his own church.

"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord," he said. "I entrust myself to your prayers," the pope said.
