Nice Chesterton quote too.
One volume of his complete works down, 39 Christmases to go!

I can't ask for a better way to signal in 2007 (Year of the Boar, my year, for the record) then to have Pope Benedict bless it!
Peace and health to the good Papa!

Thomas, that is such a beautiful photo of the Holy Father ... whenever I see that beatific smile, I know there's hope for the world. May God continue to bless him with good health and even more wisdom in the coming year.

May you also have a very Happy and Blessed New Year, Thomas, and may the American Papist continue to bring the truth of Christ and the words of the Holy Father to a new generation of Catholics -- the Benedict generation!

It's a nice photo of BXVI, sure, but... what's with that baby Jesus figure?

I've heard of "Charlie Brown" Christmas trees, but "Charlie Brown" Baby Jesus figures?? LOL!
