I truly love your enthusiasm. It is my sincerest hope that you nor any of your brothers will limit your considerations for pope to just those who are cardinals. I often think that has been some of the issue. It is obvious to me that we live in a very critical moment….a defining one….for in his next pontificate the gauntlet will be thrown down of whether the Curia and the pope see it necessary to bow on some level to the growing secular thoughts of the world at large ….or be willing to stand on the shore of Truth in all its worldly contradictions. The decisions made will likely determine how the faith is continued or even on some level remains a bark on which a man can climb aboard to ride amongst a stormy sea!
