I find myself drawn to B16, more so than JPII. I don't know if I didn't want to fall in lock-step with the throngs of screaming adorers or if I'm just a curmudgeon. But, I find myself much more interested in B16s statements and writings. There's something about his humility, shyness and intellect that draw me to him. Perhaps it's the old narcissist saw, "what you like in other people is what you desire in your self".

To supplement this lovely portrait showing His Holiness' contemplative side, there is also a more recent picture revealing his inner hipness.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you for the delightful shot of the Pope strolling in his sunglasses! Who would have known that he would be such a media star!
