He sends along three pieces he has written on the Holy Father here, here, and here.
He also sends along a link to Francis’ comments on his papacy so far.
He adds:
I think Francis has been a very impressive Pope, notwithstanding prudential controversies here and there.
As a Catholic, I am most thankful the Lord has blessed the Church with his inspired leadership, especially at this challenging time in the world, and I pray for his continued success.
Dittos. I am deeply grateful for the man, as I am for his predecessors. I am also charmed by him. I gotta love a pope who commends himself into God’s hands and puts himself in harm’s way for the sake of his flock while also asking his assassins to make it quick because “I’m a real wimp”.
God willing, he will die a natural death, but I love the man that he is willing to conquer the devil “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of [his] testimony, for [he] loves not [his] life even unto death” (Re 12:11).
Ad multos annos!
