Thank you for sharing your testimony! Whereas I do not agree with your understanding of the extent of Peter's assignment, I do appreciate your position on the issue.

And I in turn appreciate your polite,civil response to my comment. I also appreciate your thoughtful,informed posts on the religious threads and just as you do not agree with my understanding of those scripture passages I cited,I do not agree with your understanding of many things you say. Nonetheless,I always look forward to reading your comments and learn from many of them.

Because of my regard for your input,I would be most interested in your thoughts on another thread that is running now,the subject is Pope Benedict's talk,given at the Italian Bishops' conference in Verona Italy. Because I lack even basic computer skills,I can't ping you to it from here;however,I will go over there and ping you to the thread.

I will understand if you are too busy to reply but am interested,I think it is what the Christian world needs as a point of focus in these times. I also think Pope Benedict XVI has a brilliant mind,an awesome holiness and true humility. Truly a follower and imitator of Christ.
