A Great Article in the Enquirer

Peter Bronson, the scrappy writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, has posted a great article about the visit of Pope Benedict XVI in today's paper.

I wrote a letter to Peter in response.
Peter,
Thanks for the insights into the Pope’s visit and sermons. Yours is the best article I have read on it and I have looked at quite a few.


As a retired therapist with training and experience in family counseling I strongly echo the Pope’s focus on basics. In our “Post Modern” world some people, like Bill Maher, would like to change the rules of life but, like gravity, some rules are designed to deal with our spiritual nature.

When the news hounds focus on his apologies they miss the central theme for all Christians of confession, forgiveness and repentance. It is too bad that many reporters are so ignorant of the Christian message that they replace it with Political Correctness. However, PC will never replace JC, Jesus Christ, as the path to healing, peace and growth. Thank God the Pope is helping us all remember.

Shalom,

Gary Sweeten
