it was made even better by her admitting that she was detached and cynical and not at all devout, and yet she was deeply affected by him.

It's hard to remain detached. The Holy Spirit is relentless!

Great story!

Everybody in the media keeps saying that Benedict XVI is "just not as charismatic" as John Paul II.

I'm not so sure. People seem to be profoundly affected by their encounters with him, although perhaps in a different, quieter way than JPII's blaze of glory.

Maybe it's the quality of holiness. Maybe it's the Holy Spirit. But I am more and more impressed with this wonderful man.
