Thread Name: BS: Ratzinger is the new Pope [2005]
Subject: RE: BS: Ratzinger is the new Pope
He opposed Romero (The Red Bishop) in the late 1970s and early 1980s (?) over Liberation Theology. He has said, basically, that the Church will be better off with a smaller more devoted (read, toe-the-line) congregation than a larger congregation that wants their specific whims catered to (abortion, same-sex marriage, birth control, etc).

The above is my interpretation. Time will tell (just who has fell, and who's been left behind . . .).
