Thank you for helping us know Blessed Karl a little better. I had heard of him but knew nothing about him. And the Pope at that time, Benedict XV, he played a role in the struggle to end that disastrous war, yes? I believe that's a major (or the major) reason why our present Holy Father chose the name of Benedict.

We are called to have trust in God's Providence in history, but that is a major struggle for me. Seems like the good guys are always struck down, vilified, humiliated, and then die having failed in their noble objectives. "Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne" and all that.

Sigh.
