Fr. Roderick, thank you so much for re-posting these episodes! It was wonderful to re-live this exciting event. Pope Benedict XVI is truly “my Pope” and listening to these podcasts again was the best way for me to celebrate the 7th anniversary of his election. I thank our dear Holy Father for every single minute of these past 7 years.
