the current Successor assumes as his primary commitment that of working tirelessly towards the reconstitution of the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers. This is his ambition, this is his compelling duty. He is aware that to do so, expressions of good feelings are not enough. Concrete gestures are required to penetrate souls and move consciences,

Pocketed in among the reassurances and verbal gestures to JPII are these subtle timebombs. He makes references to VII and if he was behaving in a modernist fashion I would be afraid. But he's doing the opposite. This is a pope who has hit the ground running. Change will come rapidly IMO and he's trending trad with a capital T.
