Thanks, read the full text of the lecture. Going to print it and read it again. Never have been able to fully master reading from a screen. Need to be able to put pencil marks on the paper to absorb. First impression, appears the entire Islamic reaction may be way overstated given the context of Benedict's comments. Thanks again.

It was my pleasure. I wonder how many will read the full text, regardless of how long this controversy lives. As livius said "he is obviously setting the stage for serious debate on the matter.". I believe this is very likely true, so there will be more to read from our Pope. Perhaps at some point, his words will be read before the outrage and riots.
