Wishing for something that wasn't going to happen

Jay Tea over at Whizbang has an excellent analysis of all the handwringing about the "Missed Opportunity" by choosing Ratzinger as pope.

While, I'm not Catholic, my wife and daughter are, so pretty much any church service I attend these days is a Catholic Mass. As Jay says, what the detractors wanted from the Church just was Not. Going. To. Happen.

And I want to add, that a more conservative Church, does not necessarily mean that the Church will drive away membership. As Jay points out, a majority of Catholics don't live in the United States.
