Benedict Draws Us Nearer To God
Here's an excellent article by Sandro Magister of Chiesa which was found by way of Ignatius Insight. It takes us to the six-month pontificate of Benedict XVI.
Here are some salient points: Central to Benedict's pontificate is the Eucharist as seen in his deep love and silent adoration for the Blessed Sacrament. He brings all to the Eucharist, always invoking the help of Mary. We saw that in Cologne, in his catechesis with First Communicants and with Bishops during the Synod.
Showing docility to the Holy Spirit, his strength lies in his meekness and humility which brings him to re-introduce Christian life with seriousness and total devotion. He teaches with simple words and actions. Even non-Christians recognize Benedict's role as spiritual compass in the world.
Read how the Holy Father scored (as if we should keep track) in his first six months in Ratzinger’s Revolution Passes with Flying Colors.

I see a lot of people are looking up to him, where as in the begining they were acting as though he was going to be hitler type and nasty.
I think he has shown many unbelievers what goodness comes from God.
It's the Holy Spirit Who draws them near. Benedict has been chosen to show the path to God.
