Pope Benedict XVI

The intelligentsia seems shocked that the conclave of cardinals elected a Catholic pope. Don Singleton has it about right:

I am not a Catholic, but it seems to me that the complaints come from two sources: Cafeteria Catholics that disagree with major tenents of the Catholic faith, and who foolishly hoped for a Pope that would change the Church to what they wanted, and the Secular Left that hates anything related to Faith.
