Most Excellent! I really like this man, he’s smart and compassionate. What he did today, meeting with the Victims from Boston was profoundly meaningful and important to the Natives.
Love the pic of the Nuns with the cell phone!

Bless you, Pope Benedict.

Yeah, I’m glad he did it too. And his call to the Catholic Colleges in the US to follow Christ in all things was certainly needed too.

I think it was profoundly meaningingful and important to those who were sexually abused by rogue Priests.

He didn't pay "lip service" to the scandal as many of the Cardinal's in the U.S. have done over the years. The Pope *acted* out of compassion for the victims and expressed his love for them. That action alone told them he took them seriously, and was going to do something about the problem. I can only imagine this is what the victims needed. Maybe this will give them some peace.

I'm really, truly impressed with this Pope (especially as a former Catholic.)
