Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Benedict XVI Blog Launches

The Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Benedict XVI Blog launches today at http://josephratzinger.blogspot.com . This blog is focused on the new papacy of the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger now known as Pope Benedict XVI.

The death of Pope John Paul II was a very sad day for Catholicism. However, after the proscribed period of mourning, the College of Cardinals quickly chose the new Pope…the German Joseph Ratzinger who is now known as Pope Benedict XVI. The new Pope has many challenges ahead as he attempts to reconcile church doctrine with the forces in the world that wish to push the Catholic Church towards mainstream social customs.

The Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Benedict XVI Blog (http://josephratzinger.blogspot.com) will follow the new Pope’s each and every move as he attempts to take over for one of the legendary Pope’s in history and as he attempts to make his mark on the Catholic Church as the first new Pope in 27 years. Will he stay true to traditional Catholic values or will he push the Church into the modern era? The Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Benedict XVI Blog (http://josephratzinger.blogspot.com) be the #1 online internet resource for information on Benedict / Ratzinger on a daily basis.
