Two characters, Newman and Ratzinger, many things unite them: their strong faith in Jesus Christ his fervor and intellectual preparation and confidence in the Catholic Church. It is not hard to imagine that the conversion of Newman in the nineteenth century England should have provoked uproar and commotion, but it was an Anglican priest was well aware of the history of the Church and one of his wishes was around the Church of England to the Catholic heart.
addition to Newman's beatification, the Pope has been with Queen Elizabeth II, the heir to the throne, Prince Charles , and the leaders of the Anglican Church to deal to mend fences and to deepen a healthy ecumenism and dialogue between the two faiths, the Christian view of the two, with the known differences, but with the same destination: the love of God and neighbor.
There was some fear that they committed any attempt on the life of the pontiff, but thankfully this threat has not materialized. The sad thing is that the Pope had been reviled, mocked and insulted by many people, a story of his painful past and the cases of pedophilia, for which has already apologized on behalf of the whole Church on numerous occasions, which is not do other groups when they are in similar circumstances. It was sad to read a certain "journalist", not only English but also English, hurling insults and abuse free against the Pope and his work in the Church. Beyond them with malice and bad manners.
not mistaken I think qualify as a successful visit of His Holiness the UK and I am sure that if the great Chesterton had lived to see it would have been closely identified with the figure kindly, simple and humane because Benedict XVI , as requested by the Cardinal Newman as blessed today, the Pope knows that 'the heart speaks to the heart. "
May God bless you all, friends, and soon.
