I believe that the Pope's principle of personalism is meant as a vocabulary for addressing a secular world that has been stripped of any classical philosophical categories or understanding. It is a vocabulary that seeks to draw the secular mind and the non-Catholic Christian into the truth of Holy Mother Church where they can be schooled first having been fed milk as one would nurse a child and then solid food, which is the solid foundation of St. Thomas Aquinas and all Thomistic thought.

The Holy Father reigns at a time of such widespread dissent and infiltration by the communists, secularists and Freemasons that the 25 years of his pontificate are in fact an amazing testimony to him. Marian devotion has revived and returned in a way I would not have thought possible after the nadir of the 1970s. Without his guidance and leadership this would not have happened given the bishops in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.

As the most Venerable Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich saw a Pope in her visions whose head drooped, suffered greatly, and was surrounded by men of mischief, so I believe that Pope is our Holy Father Pope John Paul II, and I praise God for him.
