She also said when he gives homilies he does not "speak Vaticanese", that people can understand him because he doesn't speak over their heads theologically.
He's such a wonderful teacher of the faith!
Well, as someone who's crossing the Tiber, I appreciate the many levels that he speaks to me...his homilies which draw me to the beauty of Christ...his candid interviews that help me understand the Catholic vision...his humility that points to the Otherness of God...and his theological works that challenge me to think and reorder my worldview.
I haven't been this joyous in a long time, coming in as a bruised and wearied Anglican.
