Pablo and I love this picture of Pope Benedict in a red zuchetto (the official name is pileolus). Thank you Michael and Katerina for this wonderful quote of Pope Benedict's."Our greatest need in the present historical moment is people who make God credible in this world by means of the enlightened faith they live. The negative testimony of Christians who spoke of God but lived in a manner contrary to him has obscured the image of God and has opened the doors to disbelief.
We need men who keep their eyes fixed on God, learning from him what true humanity means.
We need men whose intellect is enlightened by the light of God, men whose hearts are opened by God, so that their intellect can speak to the intellect of others and their hearts can open the hearts of others. It is only by means of men who have been touched by God that God can return to be with mankind."
Joseph Ratzinger, Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures
