Pope Benedict XVI blesses a photo of 4-year-old abducted British girl Madeleine McCann, while meeting her parents Gerry and Kate McCann, after his weekly general audience at the Vatican May 30, 2007. The parents of a four-year-old British girl snatched from a Portuguese holiday resort nearly a month ago met Pope Benedict on Wednesday and the Pontiff blessed a photograph of the child. The mother of Madeleine McCann appeared to be holding back tears as she held up the picture of her daughter, which the Pope touched gently and then blessed with the sign of the cross.

I’ve said it before...I hope you Roman Catholics appreciate this pope. The Orthodox sure do.

Very interesting that he speaks of Tertullian’s comments on Petrine Primacy.... A complete read of them is instructive.
