Well that's a surprise

Here's the first line of the vow taken by all popes except John-Paul I, John-Paul II (the last guy) and Benedict XVI (the new guy).

"I vow to change nothing of the received Tradition, and nothing thereof I have found before me guarded by my God-pleasing predecessors, to encroach upon, to alter, or to permit any innovation therein." http://fisheaters.com/papaloath.html

And people wonder why the Roman Catholic church has been having trouble with accepting change...


Cheers,
