Benedict rightfully reminds Europe that it was built on a Christian foundation. But does anyone else today care? It is one thing to recall these religious roots. The greater challenge is to show that Christianity still addresses contemporary needs....Benedict deserves credit for steering the church back to basic Christianity in hopes of reminding Europe that the gospel of Jesus Christ once turned a barbarous continent into the cradle of Western civilization.

I sense B16 is planting the seeds not only of spiritual revival in Europe, for the west in general.
