I LIKE THE THOUGHT of His Holiness Benedict
XVI when in an interview he said that the Holy Spirit guide the Church
and the Cardinals in their choice of a Pope. Not in the sense that the
Holy Spirit tells the Cardinal-Electors directly whom to vote, but the
inspiration does not do away with the freedom of choice. The Holy
Spirit inspires but the human will has the choice to follow the
inspiration or to go the other way
around. This is the reason why in the past there were persons who were
unworthy and yet were elected as popes. Perhaps the electors did not
listen well to what the Holy Spirit inspires. But this was rare
exceptions, because the vast majority of Popes were good Popes and were
known for their saintliness.
LET US PRAY for our Church as the conclave begins for the choice of the new Pope.
Viva il Papa!
