But without Benedict XVI making the very humble decision to step down, Pope Francis would not be there at all.

Of course, I know that Benedict XVI was also amazing during his papacy as well. Everything that John Paul II and Benedict XVI wrote about Catechism, Doctrine and Church teaching is like the best books ever because that really helped me understand and love my faith even more than ever!

I don't want to be mistaken for somehow being glad we're finally done with "arrogant", "extravagant" popes like JPII and B16!

Just like we do with comparing our own lives. And I also am excited about Pope Francis.

I've already said this, but I loved seeing the pure human feeling of what must have been close to terror--seeing all those people, who are looking at you, wondering about you, talking about you and maybe even judging you. How scary! <br /><br />By the way, I should say that I loved the expression not because I wanted him to be scared (it in fact, inspired me to pray for him!) but because this is the natural humility about him. True humility is never an act or even a brave face--humility is being "what is true" in the present moment.<br /><br />I also especially agree #5--I've had a little concern about ex-pope Benedict (what are we supposed to call him now?)He also was a gentle and humble Father. He was called the "Nazi Pope" by so many who scorned him--but I had a father who was also called "strict" by many of my friends, which left me bewildered. What they saw as "strict" I only saw as his love and protection for my well-being. <br /><br />As a fellow (and sometimes also misunderstood) introvert myself, I continue to pray for our old Pope Benedict--that he not be forgotten.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-61238595650941735352013-03-16T06:47:16.683-07:002013-03-16T06:47:16.683-07:00George will I think be popular too although less s...George will I think be popular too although less so<br />Deltaflutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489950329698009256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-22230663304187580222013-03-16T06:05:57.613-07:002013-03-16T06:05:57.613-07:00What an awesome divine Tradition, the papacy.

The various flags being waved, the colors and creeds of the people gathered, united under the One Holy Church, all points to unity, to one fold. The international magnitude and meaning that the papacy has throughout the world-- just awe inspiring.Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-80998535182265074312013-03-16T05:00:48.390-07:002013-03-16T05:00:48.390-07:00This has been a very exciting time for me and my s...This has been a very exciting time for me and my son.

We must not forget that pope Benedict was a truely humble man as well, as the media (always fond of painting things black or white) tries to make it look like this is the first humble pope. <br />I became Catholic under pope Benedict, and I loved him from that moment, but I am truely happy that we now have pope Francis. I hope emiritus-pope Benedict will be able to spend some good years in the peace he deserves so much, and I hope pope Francis will reign (is this the right word for it?) for many years to come. <br />We are blessed with these great men as our shepards, I think.
