Many are of the opinion, I among them, that we are seeing the first true Father[B-16] of The Church in near 700 years.

I like B-16 for his mind, and while I could appreciate the power of JP2's charisma, intellect always impresses me a whole lot more.

I do agree with you about Benedict's mind! A shrewd man, a fine balance to his good friend. If John Paul opened the gates of the Church fully, then Benedict is reminding us to tend it properly.
