The Grace alone vs. Grace & good works (I won't even touch the money comment) has always been a sticking point in Catholic/Lutheran dialogue. That is why the fact that there was a group of Catholics and a group of Lutheran wishing to receive communion together was pretty damn cool, and the fact that Ratzinger stifled that is pretty damn sad.

The thing that bugs me is this. He's going to be appointing Cardinals, and the Cardinals are going to be electing the next pope....how much more conservative is that guy going to be? Other than that, no biggie....as my pastor pointed out yesterday, who listens to the Pope anyway.
