I like the Pope.













"Are we not perhaps all afraid in some way? If we let Christ enter fully into our lives, if we open ourselves totally to Him, are we not afraid that He might take something away from us?...And once again the Pope said: No! If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation....When we give ourselves to Him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ – and you will find true life." -Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict is sweet. I have some of his articles and one of his encyclicals if you want to check them out, let me know. I'll be back in a few days.

"yes open, open wide the doors to christ and you will find a long white robe and a few supposedly powerful "world leaders."
