Thank you Mr. Warren...your words are a fitting tribute to Pope Benedict.
It was Benedict who opened to me what The Church teaches about the meaning of the word "person," from the Greek (per son a), in his "Introduction to Christianity." With one gentle and lucid stroke, he joined what that means about the Triune God, and Man made in the image of God, and the WORD, by which God touches us, and by which He wills we touch one another. And then he tied the whole thing back to God's voice in Genesis: "Let us make man in our own image."
As another observer noted of Benedict, upon his election to the Chair of Peter: "What an exquisite person." - Chris in Maryland
