A look at the 2005 conclave that elected Benedict XVI through the journal entries of Andrew Greeley (1928-2013), an outspoken American priest. I was impressed with the way he dismissed Ratzinger so many times before the conclave, but then afterwards suggested the world give him a chance. I began reading it the day Benedict announced his resignation and found it informative, interesting, and above all, one man's liberal opinion of the state of the church at the time.
