Peggy Noonan, one of my favorite columnists, and a catholic, has written a piece (here's the link) contrasting Pope John Paul II with Benedict XVI. "Something beautiful has begun." Perhaps so. Here's my favorite graph:
John Paul made you burst into tears. Benedict makes you think. It is more pleasurable to weep, but at the moment, perhaps it is more important to think.
That would be nice, to have a thinking church for a change.
