Benedict XVI: A New Pope
On only the second day of the papal conclave, the cardinals have elected a new pope. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected as the 265th pontiff and has taken the name Benedict XVI. He is the first German pope since the 11th century.
This took place shortly before 7pm Vatican time, so there are not a lot of details as of yet. Benedict has some big shoes to fill, but I think he's well aware of this. He had been working with John Paul II since 1981.
No doubt there will be more to come.
That's all from where I sit.
