BTW, maybe you can help direct me to the opus of Benedict XVI on the Catechism, i.e. bibliographic & availability, particularly in English? I'd like to see if that refers more to Angels, since I've been interested in this topic since elementary school & I think he favors the theology of St. Augustine. Your blog post sent to me today on Angels reminds me to refresh my memory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871003660505018815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999495685907656574.post-55625559295810421962013-06-21T10:41:51.225-07:002013-06-21T10:41:51.225-07:00My great pleasure, Marie DuMabeiller!

Milne's and my most favorite ever. <br />Terry Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664864341946607447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999495685907656574.post-37781903714710796532013-06-15T23:42:14.589-07:002013-06-15T23:42:14.589-07:00Thank you, Terry, for inspiring me with my favorit...Thank you, Terry, for inspiring me with my favorite childhood poem combined with these exquisite photographic insights into Pope Benedict XVI's private life in the papacy. As a church organist age 67 with lifelong disabilities, this scenario motivates me to do an evening organ practice now, the only way I get things done by Mass time & probably how Benedict also did sometimes. In fact, I notice from his placement that he & I may well have the same or similar musculo-skeletal issues which can indeed be distracting though generally liveable well into old age if you have mercy on yourself...<br /><br />And what a tastefully-appointed surrounding, no matter how one feels, and he deserved that exquisite bedroom for his well-earned respite. Benedict has always been somebody's little brother, but now the man is DISABLED & there's nothing anyone could do about the first Disability Retirement in papal history - so thank God for him and that Pope Francis came to the rescue, as this pontifical transition is working out perfectly! When I saw the photo of the two popes kneeling side-by-side in prayer at Castel Gandolfo & Pope Francis welcoming Pope Benedict home to his monastery, that collegial fraternity was the sweetest thing I'd ever seen & due only to the dissimilarity in their sizes, I dubbed them Big Pope and Little Pope. So sleep well, Little Pope in your very own little Pope House, as now Big Pope is just up the street if you need him, he's got your interests at heart, he loves you & he's got your back, too!
