Benedict XVI
Kathryn Lopez, as is to be expected, is posting fast and furiously about the new Pope in the Corner. If you want to get a lot of information quickly, go there. Unfortunately, the Ratzinger Fan Club's servers are overwhelmed at the moment(not surprising I suppose). That site is a great Ratzinger resource.
Great quote from the Corner:
Erica Walters, who wrote her master's thesis on Ratz, in TNR: "It's his humility, indeed his lack of desire for the job, that I find most compelling. Anyone who has seen him up close (as I have) knows the reality of the man confounds his image as an enforcer. Shy and soft-spoken, he possesses a scholar's temperament and in his youth was considered a theological innovator. He often wins over the wary after personal meetings. Many Protestant theologians in Germany and America, for example, speak warmly of him after engaging in scholarly give and take. Far from being power mad, he has for years pleaded to be allowed to resign from his office and return to teaching, but John Paul wouldn't consent."
