As A Protestant I like him for lots of reasons. He’s firm on the moral teaching of the church and calls for Evangelization and Care for the Needy. He carries himself with humility, which is very welcome.

Was the missing “”M” monogram (for “Mary) on his tapestry on purpose? John Paul II and Benedict both included it, IIRC. The concept of Mary’s “Motherhood of God” is one of the concepts that we “neo-Nestorians” just have a hard time getting past.

Thank you for your cordial words.

Sometime when you have time (it doesn't have to be now), please explain what you meant by objecting to "Mother of God" because you are a (your word) "Neo-Nestorian." I don't understand any of that stuff -- Pelagians, Arians, Semi-Pelagians, Neo-Nestorians, Semi-Hemi-Demi Pelagians, Lollapaloozatarians --- OK, I just made that up --- but perhaps I haven't heard the right explanation.
