Gotta love Pope Benedict — cleaning house.
God bless him!
I think he realizes the time is limited, too.
When he first became pope I was MISLED by his appearance. He looked old, tired, frail and weak.
Those who knew him and knew of him called him the PANZER POPE, with a TOWERING intellect and a backbone of TEMPERED STEEL.
Now when I look at him I see the look in his eyes. :o) He is well named. What a wonderful gift by God to us, so needed at this time in the world. He does the office of Peter credit.
