I believe that even though I do not agree with him on most issues he will be good for the church.
-sure he is tough and very 'old school' but it would take years to roll back the reforms of Vatican II and even then it will not go over well.
-opus dei, many have expressed concern he will align himself with them but I do not see it happening OD wants it ALL and he will want to keep an eye on them to preserve his own power
-JPII felt Bush might be the AntiChrist and as a close confidant to JPII BenidictXVI likely shares that view
-As one of the few Cardinals not appointed by JPII it shakes things up a bit
-he has been running the show for some time anyway so I do not see any big changes
-Christian fundamentalists and Catholics do not mix both believe the other is damned,
