Good idea about the cigar! I was thinking pork roast, black beans, fried plantains ...

I’d love to hang out with the guy for a week. I’ve read his books, probably the smartest guy on the planet.

How about being both a reactionary and a prophet?

He is also an excellent teacher. I really believe that Pope Benedict XVI will one day be a doctor of the Catholic Church.

You speak the truth. And the modern world hates the Catholic Church because of the staunch and unmoving views she holds!

He outdoes Obortion O in his daily and sometimes more than daily speeches. And I bet he doesn’t work from a teleprompter either! LOL!

He is so knowledgeable.

It is very important that you take with full faith the evidence presented by the secular media since we can always depend on its objectivity.

Pray the Rosary for Peace!

Pray for the Pope to Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Agree. He has to be very close to Jesus to produce such beautiful words.
