I’m sorry, I could just as well read this article in Peoples Magazine. There is that little content to it. Hope springs eternal that there should be a difference between religious magazines and secular one.
I am not criticizing the man, I am criticizing the article.
My reading skills are the headline, the first paragraph, the last paragraph and then the articles for details if warranted.
The last paragraph is usually the major point the author wants you to remember.
“At ninety, Benedict has lived long enough to see crises erupt, crises engaged, and now the beginning of crises resolved.”
Is that the point? Is it about tribute to Benedict?
The body has a lot of details. Mostly accolades to Benedict.
The author does getting close to the truth a couple of times, but never gets there.
Now, the gem of Benedicts life appears to be, we all need to get back to Scriptural Authority. But we can’t say that plainly, can we? Or is that not the gem?
So far you were wrong about the article not saying anything about God or Jesus.
You were wrong about the article not saying what it said in the fifth paragraph.
You have avoided, like the plague, the point that the books of Esther and the Song of Solomon neither mention God nor Jesus.
When you get around to doing something useful let me know. With that as a stated condition it’s highly unlikely you will be contacting me again.
