I\u2019m too busy this week to write my own, so I will steal the posts of others! Michael Sean Winters has written a great little essay<\/a>\u00a0on the pope. I concur with practically every word, and I went through the very same path of initial anxiety to deep admiration. My main complaint\u00a0with the papacy so far is that he has not done enough to clean house at the Vatican. The Sodanos are still in place. Brave leaders like Diarmuid Martin are not getting the support they need. Benedict has an awe-inspiring message, which shines through his beautiful prose. But this\u00a0light must not be hidden under\u00a0a bushel, which means that\u00a0some house cleaning is in order.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
