His writing, except for <i>Introduction to Christianity</i> has been much more accessible to me. And then, I didn't expect him to be so charming.<br /><br />Well, on the bright side, he might live to be really, really old, and we might not.<br /><br />AMDGJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069018443486415173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-34954817983940200412012-04-17T10:18:59.045-05:002012-04-17T10:18:59.045-05:00I'm glad you posted on this, because I didn...I'm glad you posted on this, because I didn't. I only realized sometime in the afternoon that it was his birthday, and didn't really have time or mental wherewithal to post anything. I had similar worries about JPII's successor--maybe even worse, because I was afraid it wouldn't be just a letdown but a disaster. I think I personally feel closer to Benedict than I did to John Paul. I don't mean he's a better pope, but just as a personality, and in his writings, I feel a more personal connection.<br /><br />85 is really quite old, so I guess we are going to face this succession thing again before too long.Machttp://lightondarkwater.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-75543985383412542192012-04-16T11:43:19.391-05:002012-04-16T11:43:19.391-05:00Thanks for this!
