Excellent article. We should call him "Der Panzerpope". He has God given moral courage. His views give a lot of moral clarity and are Christian mainstream which conservative Protestants and Evangelicals hold dear as well. He will be a formidable unifying voice for Christian conservatives everywhere and can do much to make the mystical Body of Christ the force it needs to be to combat evil. Its already starting as many people in my office are Protestants and Evangelicals and they are absolutely delighted with his election.
Know what? I am absolutely delighted to *see* you today.
Posting back and forth with you has made this blessed and
historical day all the more meaningful.
Warms my heart to learn your coworkers are pleased too.
Yesterday (admittedly in anticpation and hope for Ratzinger) I busied myself reading some of his writings,and "moral clarity" is certainly apparent.
In spades. :)
