It's always interesting to see what people get out of what they read. The citation you excerpted said one thing to you and another to me, even with your added emphasis what stood out to me was:

It stands for a commitment to follow Jesus

Sometimes it seems that all some people see is Catholics pointing to Mary when if they'd look just past that to who we're really pointing at they'd see Jesus.

Like with the pope, we may be pointing to him but that's because he's pointing to Jesus. To bring this discussion back around to original post: "The Pope proclaimed the God who alone can satisfy the hunger of every human heart, the One who is fully revealed in Jesus Christ - who continues His redemptive mission through the Church which is His Body."

It's a message worth delivering and worth hearing. The secularists understood what he was saying, it's depressing that people who claim to follow Christ can't figure it out.
