It was three years ago today that the world heard the words, "Habemus Papam!" We have a Pope! I remember seeing and hearing the bells ringing in St. Peter's Square on TV that day, and hoping against hope that our new Pope would be Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. I was almost certain that the Cardinals would not choose him, because of the perception that he was very conservative and traditional. But God always knows what He is doing, and He gave us a great gift in this wonderful Pope, Benedict XVI.
It makes me happy to see how America has embraced Pope Benedict during his visit here. And I am grateful for his blessing of our country before he left.
