The Pope reaching out to the church of England

I was also a skeptic initially, the new Pope is too old, too austere, surely not in sync with modern times?

But Benedict proved himself different.

From his red Prada shoes to his new style of leading the catholic church.

Telling Anglicans that they are welcome to be catholics? Wow...

At least he is proving to be respected church leader that the church of England lacks today. With the US epicopals allowing gay pastors, and the rest of anglican church leaders remaining silent on that... Surely that is not the Christ way of doing things. But I don't want to judge, I do however, salute Benedict for reaching out with wisdom, decisiveness and love.
