Benedict XVI will follow the will of God
This is from Zenit, and will no doubt really, really upset everyone who was convinced the new Pope might just start allowing married lesbian priests to perform Church-sanctioned abortions:
VATICAN CITY, APRIL 24, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI says the priorities for his pontificate are those of the will of God, not his own ideas. During a Mass today in St. Peter's Square to inaugurate his pontificate, the new Pope received the pallium and the Fisherman's Ring, symbols of his Petrine ministry. "At this moment there is no need for me to present a program of governance," the German-born Pontiff said in his homily to an audience of 400,000 people. "I was able to give an indication of what I see as my task in my message of Wednesday, April 20, and there will be other opportunities to do so." The message the Holy Father referred to was one he delivered to cardinals in the Sistine Chapel after the Mass he celebrated the day following his election as Pope. In that message, he committed himself to promote unity in the Church, unity with other Christian confessions, and unity within the human family, following the guidelines outlined by the Second Vatican Council.
