As I have stated, I am not a Catholic...but I always followed along with Pope John Paul and when he died, I thought what big shoes he left behind to be filled...but the current Pope, Benedictine, is doing quite a fine job...I believe he is the right man, for this time...
I've read several of his books, followed him for several years earlier, and watched him on video. This is a man who believes deeply, loves deeply, cares deeply, communicates well, and is genuinely kind.
I will always have a great love for him because of his goodness and sincerity.
