Dear Friends
Catholic loyalty runs deep. And it shows itself when the Church is under the pump
e.g. When Benedict announced his resignation, more than one person who had been very critical of his papacy came out with a line like "this will win him a lot of respect"
e.g. Like many other people, I have been very disappointed with the papacy of Benedict XVI....but when he resigned, I had mixed feelings....relief that he had gone, but also a certain sadness for him
e.g.
Sr Joan Chittister, a strong critic of Benedict, wrote:
And so, when the pope waved goodbye from the balcony at
Castel Gandolfo, I felt a twinge of sadness -- for him, for us and for the world
at large (in
this article, on today's menu)
And now during the actual voting, Catholics everywhere are praying for the cardinals to "get it right"...by God's grace. Never before have so many Catholics prayed so hard for a conclave. Not just because of an increase in numbers or internet information....but because more than ever before they are concerned about the future of the Church
So
for the cardinals and the new pope we keep on praying:
COME HOLY SPIRIT !
