"He is distrustful of theologians who “do not love art, poetry, music, nature: they can be dangerous.” He loves taking walks in the mountains. He plays the piano, and favors Mozart. His brother Georg, a priest, is the choirmaster at Ratisbonne, one of the last pockets of resistance for the great tradition of sacred polyphony and Gregorian chant."

A man after my own heart :-)

A man after my own heart as well. I can hear him saying the words my pastor used a few weeks ago. My pastor, in a homily, flat out said "those nincompoop theologians that undermine people's faith"! I nearly went into down-home mode and almost did a Rebel Yell and a classic Amen Corner "Amen" right out loud! I managed to contain it until I got in my car! I can see Benedict XVI saying the same thing in German!
