Reading Peggy Noonan is about as close as it comes to perfection. At least that's my opinion. After I'm done reading her work, I find that I want to go back and read it again just for the sure pleasure of it.
If you haven't yet read her poignant column on Benedict, do so...right now.
She writes: "John Paul made you burst into tears. Benedict makes you think. It is more pleasurable to weep, but at the moment, perhaps it is more important to think.
Pope John Paul II was the perfect pope for the television age.... Benedict...is the perfect pope for the Internet age. He is a man of the word. You download the text of what he said, print it, ponder it."
Regarding the comment on Pope John Paul II, I once authored a column that made a similar point.
But, I'm not going to ruin Noonan's article for you. Just go read it, and enjoy!
