He will be missed. A very “Lutheran” Pope in a way. He understood us in a manner most do not.
I fear that the Lutheran/Catholic dialog will suffer if an another European is elected.

Thank you, redgolum. You are wise and charitable in your remarks, and I personally know other Lutherans who feel exactly the same way. I'm going to miss Benedict and I really hope he has things set up for a good successor.
He is a chess-player. He probably had "successor" in mind ever since the white smoke hit the sky in 2005.
