Cathedral Bells Ringing: New Pope is Chosen
Bump and Update: We were right - the church bells did mean a new pope has been elected. The news is just now reporting it. How ironic that the news got out faster from old-fashioned church bells than the high tech media.
The new pope is Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, "the church's leading hard-liner." He has chosen the name Pope Benedict XVI.
