“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

Truly blessed to have such a Pope. Keep praying for him!
Quite frankly, good comments for any time in one’s life, not just the tail end on this earth.
Pope Benedict XVI is the most realistic voice the in wide world. Hoping (selfishly) that the last stretch of his journey is a long one, during which he gets some rest.
Agreed. I always remember, when I see him, that he intended to retire, had certainly deserved that, and got “conscribed” into the Papacy. He said “yes” thanks be to God. We all benefit.
I will never forget hearing the bells toll after his election. As they rung, a giddiness that I had never experienced, came over me. I was alone in my house, watching the proceedings, and as the bells rung, a kind of “holy joy” filled my spirit. I even laughed! It was the oddest, but most wonderful thing.
When I heard the words “Joseph…” I knew, and my happiness skyrocketed. What a day!
Surely this is the most difficult era to be a Holy Father. May God bless him and keep him healthy and safe.
‘Ad multos annos’-hear, hear!
We love you, Papa Benedict, and pray always for your health and safety!
Please God, may you remain many more years with us!
