Pope Benedict [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] XVI is coming to America! We have a hot political primary season underway; however, for next week the lead line will [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be about the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] visit of Pope Benedict in America. I know you can't wait, but seriously, if you're a Catholic this will be a very exciting week. It's [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] not ever day, not ever year- or decade, that a Pope comes calling in America.
Benedict's first trip to the United States as pope begins Tuesday - a five-day visit to Washington and New York, including a speech at the United Nations. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Anyone expecting strident speeches from the man once called "God's rottweiler" for his role defending Roman Catholic doctrine will be disappointed.
Benedict will deliver an unwavering message that society needs religious values, but this intellectual pontiff will do it in the most positive way possible. After making relatively little headway in his efforts to re-ignite the faith in Europe, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] America's roughly 65 million Catholics seem anxious to hear him.
"He has a way of helping us see what the Gospel and what the Catholic faith tradition asks of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] us that is challenging and not frightening," Washington Archbishop Donald Wuerl, Benedict's host in the first leg of the five-day trip, told The Associated Press.
But as he espouses those [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Catholic values he'll also have to address [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] why there's been so much scandulous sexual traumas from within it's American priesthood. How do you ask people [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to follow the faith when their leaders wren't? How does that work anyway?
And I am sure he'll get asked about . [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] And even more disquieting, why did he feel the need to make a public display of the last month?
Catholic leaders say any perception of Benedict as a mirthless scold is unfair - a hangover from his long tenure as head of the Vatican office that enforces orthodoxy. Bishops and others describe him as a shy, humble man with a keen sense of humor and a love of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] teaching. Long before he went to the Vatican, Benedict, a theologian, was a university professor.
It will be an interesting five days!
