I agree that the humility he displayed yesterday is a much needed addition to the Catholic church and we can only pray for change, healing, and understanding to come to them. Elise and I are doing very well, and I hope you are also my friend. <br /><br />Nick Mancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184967408382941327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623548512751465622.post-6408300218066444322013-03-14T11:12:49.219-07:002013-03-14T11:12:49.219-07:00I appreciate this post, Nick.

It was incredible to see the new Pope begin by asking for the prayers of all who were gathered there-- that humility is a great example of what a servant of God should resemble. <br /><br />I cannot help but believe all of our pithy arguments over denominations and church politics (whether protestant or catholic) resemble two men on death row, arguing about whose murders were more humane. Certainly in these moments all perspective is lost.<br /><br />Hope all is well with you & Elise. Keep writing & I'll keep reading.
