Thanks for posting this, Thomas. I'd always figured that Card. Ratzinger would be Pope one day; just had that feeling. I love that man!
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

:D He's a wonderful man. I've got some of his books (not all of which i've cracked yet).. all 3 volumes of Jesus of Nazareth; Behold the Pierced One; Salt of the Earth; Mary: The Church at the Source (with Hans Urs von Balthasar).. such a penetrating intellect.. he's fascinating and inspiring.
