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. :)

Why thank you! Why does it make you feel that way? When I prayed for the Council of Cardinals in church on Sunday I felt Ratzinger was going to be elected Pope. My minister who is an ex-navy nuke sub chief was lamenting the antics of Bishop Gene Robinson and how important it is to have strong leaders in his sermon. (Read II Peter 2 which I got in prayer time Saturday. This will shock you.)I have been thinking about this since the death of JPII and felt CR was best qualified and a man very similar to JPII in terms of his humanity, spirituality,personality and temperament. However he will be more of a bulldog and more confrontational. I also feel he is the right man at the right time to start to confront this scourge of liberation theology which has unfortunately polluted the minds on many Christians everywhere. I would not be suprised to start hearing denouncements about this problem from Billy Graham, Pat Robertson and other religious leaders and soon. BG will be speaking soon this month and we should check it out. It is always interesting to watch God speak through all His annointed and confirm His message.
