Conclave 2013

With the recent resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, there is a lot of discussion about the new church leader. I honestly am not very familiar with all of the duties of a pope. However, I am aware that the church is changing. Over the past few weeks in class we have talked about some of the issues that the church is facing. Change is usually good, but we need the right man to carry out these changes. In my opinion, the new Pope should be dedicated to the Catholic church and all of it's people. He must be ready to take on the challenges that have surfaced over the past few years. The new pope should be understanding of the changing world and be aware of ALL of the people affected by the Church's decisions.
