yeah, it is hard to tell given the lack of quoted context in the article.

I thought I liked him and had a deep respect for him and his allegiance to and understanding of Church teaching, but now... The more I learn about Pope Benedict XVI, the more I love and respect him. He really was the best choice for the job.

And I love his sense of humor. A human side and a deeply spiritual side aligned with the Church. What we are all called to be. I came across this quote in an article about
Pope Benedict's previous writings and new book:
"The liturgy is not a show, a spectacle, requiring brilliant producers and talented actors," said Benedict. "The life of the liturgy does not consist in 'pleasant' surprises and attractive 'ideas' but in solemn repetitions."
Amen.

Picture at Post 27. Business as usual.

Thanks for the ping. Did you hear these two quips?
'His first words after the "habemus papam" should have been "Be afraid. Be very afraid."'
And, 'this isn't the first time a German speedily occupied territory previously held by a Pole.'
