The new pope has been chosen, and he is both conservative and old. For me it's a bit of deja vu from the time when Chernenko was chosen to lead the USSR's Communist party and the country - a timeout to prepare for a proper power struggle. We were betting on how long Chernenko would live, and talking about season tickets to the General Secretaries' funerals.
Much to the disappointment of a lot of people, myself included, the new pope named himself Benedict XVI, and not Palpatine I.
He said that he wants to unite all the Christians, apparently under himself. I am sure that all non-Catholic Christians are really thrilled.
