Archbishop of Kingston, Jamaica Lawrence Burke has welcomed the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new Pope.
The 78-year-old German who succeeds the late pope John Paul the second, has taken the name Pope Benedict XVI.
Archbishop Burke is also the President of the Council of Bishops of the Caribbean. While he is surprised an older person was chosen, Archbishop Burke feels Cardinal Ratzinger is the right man for the job.
