A Pope, like others is, is a product of ignorant past. God chose the weak of this world to shame the strong. Whether you like it or not:God chose Peter and so forth Benedict16. Otherwise would Jesus be among those ignorant of the past, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Papacy lives!
Braulio , Roosevelt, New York, USA
Pope Benedict XVI is a rare combination of Spirituality, Intelligence, diplomacy, etc. A moral voice to be reckoned with in the 21st Century. He has already made a mark on world stage - a worthy successor to his predecessor John Paul II! A brilliant mind, a well-known theologian-philosopher.
Frank Herman, Rome, Italy
His Holiness Pope Benedict the XVI is the true image of what the church of Christ ought to be in the 21st century. He stands for what the words of Christ says and not what the human world wants in its ever changing desires. I love you Holy Father.
Victor Selengia, Moshi, Tanzania
The man, like all Popes, is an artifact from our ignorant past.

May God bless His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, and long may he reign! He is an awesome Holy Father....his beautiful & deep spirituality is overwhelming...It is so easy to see Christ in him;'he is Peter' & I am proud to call him 'Holy Father'....Mrs. Geraldine Boos, USA

Pope Benedict is an outstanding Holy Father as he has to show great steadfastness in challenging times. I feel huge gratitude to him and the Cardinals. Their steadfastness means I am free to put all my energy into loving my fellow sinners, instead of bickering over moral issues.

Mark, Would you be more of a fan if he was marrying gay clergy and ordaining female bishops? It took five-hundred years, but maybe the chickens are coming home to roost.
John, Augusta, USA
Pope Benedict is THE man for our times. He is a man of immense faith and love, intelligence and humility, speaking a universal language of spiritual common-sense, that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of 21st century men and women.
