Wow! What an honor to be ordained in St. Peter's, and by such a holy man!

What was it the Spanish cardinal said, B-16 is as brilliant as twelve professors and as devout as a child on his First Communion day . . .

I watched most of the Mass on EWTN. It was beautiful and one could see the joy on Benedict's face as he was asking the ordinands for their respect and obedience and again later when he embraced them as new priests.

That was Cardinal Meisner of Cologne, Germany who said, "I have known the Pope for 35 years (he has the intelligence of 12 professors and is as pious as a child on the day of his First Communion) and we are friends,"
