I also have nine teenaged girls in my house tonight, so I was kind of distracted!

I would be too! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Ratzinger was very hard to follow, and I gave up after about 15 minutes.

I did, however, catch the Fulton Sheen re-run afterwards, and he gave a stirring re-creation of Abraham Lincoln as "the Savior of America."

Sheen had quite the awareness of the dramatic, and knew how to blend words and presence.

I'm going to watch this more often.

I love Fulton Sheen! But in my area EWTN goes off at 21:00 and some Benny Hinn ministries show comes on. My kids get a kick out of all the people falling over and never hurting themselves.

Sinkspur, these are nice Catholic girls! So far, anyway.

One of the most interesting things Ratzinger said was at the end of the interview. He said that the greatest danger to the Church was that it would be remade into a social justice institute - or words in that vein.
