"When Levada expressed his surprise at his appointment, the Pope responded that he was in fact the right man for the task because he came from a world where evangelical groups were a challenge, where the message of Christ was being distorted, and that he had provided a compassionate but firm rebuttal to the many assaults that the church of San Francisco had faced during his years as head of the diocese."

I guess Pope Benedict chose him deliberately, to open the arms of the Church to evangelicals. This is great, it is in keeping with my thoughts that there is a lot of low hanging fruit we have not grasped for in the Church.

If I may add, I know a lot of evangelicals and I am sympathetic to the stands they take on moral theology, while I reject the stands they take on other areas. In the area of morals, they have a great deal in common with the Church, in the area of faith they are rather divergent.

Admittedly, if two people are going to get arrested protesting outside an abortion clinic, it will likely be a Pentecostal and a Catholic priest.....
