I don't know him personally so I don't know
if I would like him as a person or not.
I do know that I disagree with many of
the things he says and I also do not like his
managerial style: :
--April..i think that is my concern with the Pope as well. But don't know if a pope could survive without GREAT managerial skills and apparent dictatorial moments! My main concern now is his health..and can't help but wonder if TOO MUCH of the running of things isn't being done by those who surround him. One thing about working for the pope, so to speak [is it called 'nuncio'?], you can wield alot of power. Also not sure how bad his Parkinson's Disease is and how this may effect him. To be frank [and not earnest! ;0 ], I would like to see a pope come in and reverse some of the protestantization of this beloved Catholic church. But...I can only dream!!!
: Anne: Thanks for responding to my post-especially on this
: Labor Day weekend. It's good to hear from you
: again. Do you remember the other post from
: long ago where I promised you I would read I Cor. 15:24-28
: and,then, get back to you? I did read it several
: times. However, I had nothing profound to say
: about it so I decided to keep my mouth shut. :)
Kiddo, that sounds alot like me! Oh my, sometimes I really do need to just keep the ole mouth SHUT! I have a perpetual case of hoof and mouth disease! Seems as if i always have my foot in my mouth. oh well.....
:
: : Grace, grace, and all Grace...
: Anne, I am also a grace oriented person. I
: love to focus on God's Love.
Oh, yes, April. the focus always should be on God's Love..but not the easy love some would like to follow...not cheap love!!! And it is certainly more positive to dwell on His magnificent love, that's for sure. I am in the 10th day of 33 days of the Consecration to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort and love is the compelling issue!!! And I love to say grace, grace and more grace....but we can also say love, love and more love!!! This world is in such dire need of God's Love!

: I missed you Anne Angel.
oh boy@ Anne angel...NOW that is some kind of statement!!! Bless you, April, but I can hear the chuckling going on all around! more like Anne Imp!!!!
I have missed you, too....used to have some great times on Faith-sharing. Take care, my friend! And shall see you around on this beautiful shalomplace! We need to feed and nourish each other with God's love, message, and grace,
blessings, and grace,
