For some reason this guy has my interest. It wasn't my intention to be charmed by him, but his charm has worked ... so far.

The days and months ahead will more completely fill out the image of Benedict XVI, and I plan to keep my eye on him. I must say that I am impressed with his words and the words about him. In these pages you'll get the good and the bad, as well as his ipsissimi verbi ... his very words, both spoken and written.

Ocassionally I'll give my take on things, knowing that it counts for little, even for me, recognizing that my opinion changes without notice.
