We are seeing a great Father of The Church here, the first in the West in many centuries.

Wow, that's really high praise from you. I've seen you write similar things before about him, but still, it is amazing to behold.

He started with the Apostles, and now has gone to the Fathers. One wonders if he will do the later Doctors of the Catholic Church next, such as St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis de Sales.

“St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis de Sales.”

Let’s hope not! :)

There’s nothing amazing about my words or reaction. I am the worst of sinners and an often silly old man. What is amazing (though it shouldn’t be) is God’s perfect providence in sending us this pope.
