In His Own Words

Hugh Hewitt, for the April 21, 2005, The Daily Standard online (www.weeklystandard.com), comments briefly on the homily that Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger delivered just before the conclave began. And then he reprints the homily in full.

It was a powerful, blunt, no nonsense homily - and now the man who made himself so wonderfully clear during its presentation is Pope Benedict XVI.

The homily is worth a close read, I think.
