Today is the 2nd Anniversary of Pope Benedict’s election.  I still remember with fondness the memory of his election.  Since that time he has come under fire from just about every political group for one thing or another.  Too liberal about the middle east, too conservative about sexual issues, too liberal about immigration, too conservative about sexual issues, too liberal about care for the poor, too conservative about sexual issues, too liberal about torture, too conservative about sexual issues.  So the evil conservative is routinely denouced in the media for being an evil conservative.

Personally, I think he’s done a fine job and clearly is doing his best to follow God.  He is neither conservative nor liberal.  He is merely Catholic.

UPDATE on 4/20: Do yourself a favor and go check out the comments on the post Where were you? at Amy Welborne’s blog.  It brings joy to my heart to read similar experiences to my own of the pure and unexplainable anticipation and joy of the papal election.
