FYI..for the group..
Am an Anglican by faith, but not a contemporary Episcopalian. Am giving up on the US Episcopal church, and am going to convert to the Roman Catholic church.
Not that big a leap, really.
Some Episcopalian priests and their congregations are becoming Catholic. Bishop Gene is so vile and provocative, and cannot keep his hateful propagandizing quiet, that a schism in the Anglican Communion is inevitable, although Ratzinger/Benedict XVI sees opposed to this.

I speak legaleze but I confess I must be missing something.
All I get is saying that he is reminding them of the importance of the church, remember the teachings, and good luck.
Nothing specific about homosexuals in the church.
What am I missing?
I read it a few times but I don't know what he's saying about the issue at hand. Can you break it down? Thanks...
Beautiful letter. As a former Episcopalean, now Catholic, the more I read about Pope Benedict XVI, the more I love him.
I went to Drudge and a couple different threads on the new Pope on F.R. Not one picture of this person anywhere. Doesn't anyone have his picture? I read that he was the leader in Pope John's funeral, someone must have taken his picture.
Thank you for posting this very endearing and supportive letter from Cardinal Ratzinger, Churchillbuff.
Good sign.

Just watch. The good Cardinal now Pope will moderate a bit as his job begins to set in. No, he won't flip to the dark side, but you will notice more tolerance from him. Just like any well oiled machine, there are the pit bulls and there are the pacifiers. And then there's the top of the heap that blends the two together. The new Pope will be that moderating and buffering force, allowing certain leeway to his pitbulls and pacifiers.
