Peggy Noonan on Benedict’s “charisma of sincerity.”
And to revise and extend my headline: It’s not just Catholic who’ve loved meeting this pope. If you encountered President Bush as the National Catholic Prayer breakfast on Friday or at dinner on Wednesday, you know he was affected by meeting B16 and seeing people’s reactions to him. As was Rush Limbaugh — he had a beautiful, sincere reaction to the White House lawn event Tuesday on his show (and the president called in about it Friday).
