Pope Benedict, as Cardinal Ratzinger, was Pope John Paul II's right hand man for many, many years. It is to be hoped that the primary moving force in Cardinal Ratzinger's selection as pope was the Holy Spirit, but that fact that Pope John Paul had been Pope for many years, and that no one knew his mind better than Cardinal Ratzinger may have made the choice perfectly obvious to the Cardinals, they certainly didn't take much time to make up their minds.
