He was known as the "Enforcer." No doubt about it he's a hardline conservative. There were priests that were known for their liberal teachings in the past. Ratzinger was the one that relieved them of their duties, basically telling them they weren't allowed to stray from the party line. Way to promote free thought and free speech.
I'm a Catholic, but the election of Ratzinger as the new pope does not sitl well with me. What kind of a church tells people not to use their own brains, that the Church will do all the thinking for them?
edit: spelling
