Frankly, this was a pretty lousing interview about Pope Benedict. How did it get so far off topic?
Quick correction. Fr. Scalia is now pastor of St. James in Falls Church. Will listen later as Fr. Scalia is always interesting.
Listening I see that you got the pastor position correct just wrong in the show notes. On to listening to the whole thing now. Thanks.
Peter was spot on about the Church in Europe- I also attended mass in the Duomo & there were about a dozen people there-and several were nuns that worked in a nearby store (it was a daily mass).
Excellent interview, Peter. Probably need to be Catholic and a Ratzinger fan to truly appreciate what these two are talking about.
