But reading your insightful and incisive blogs on the Papal visit, I'm truly grateful your talent, wisdom, faith, and courage are now applied to reporting on this most important topic area, which secular media often cover so awkwardly. As a Catholic convert, I am moved and blessed by your comments on the Holy Father, and I'm edified by your sound advice to all of us. Your assessment of his writing hits the mark -- hope you've had a chance to read JESUS OF NAZARETH. Keep up the great work -- I'm looking forward to reading all of it and hope you'll consider writing books on your observations of Christianity and your own faith. If you've done so already, forgive my being behind the times. Cheers and blessings, Victoria Lauren,

Miss ya! As a Catholic, I am deeply interested in the words of the Pope. He is an intellectual giant of a man but is also very humble. I hope he gets fair coverage from the main stream media. So far, CNN.com has been mum so thanks to Fox and EWTN for providing coverage of this historic visit. On a side note, I am interested in your observations on the Pope's musical talent with the piano. I believe that is something that you are also very good as well. Too bad you can't get a big scoop and be invited to play for him! Keep up the great work and coverage. Dominus Vobiscum! Hi Lauren,

Elio Tue, 15 Apr 2008 21:47:05 +0000 http://foxtracker.wordpress.com/?p=536#comment-8975 I am in wholehearted agreement with Lauren Green's commentary on Pope Benedict's current and historic visit to the United States this week. As President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II were political and religious leaders for their times in collabaratively bringing down Communism, I believe Pope Benedict is the spiritual leader chosen for the battle against moral relativism and to encourage fruitful dialogue between Catholics and those of other religious persuasions. I have reassurance the discussions he has begun with Muslims. As with Ms. Green, I, too, have read many of Pope Benedict XVI's extensive writings and havs found them enlightening and thought-provoking. Finally, I echo, Ms. Green's exhortation to hear Pope Benedict out during his six momentous days here on our soil. His message will be words of truth and well worth listening to.

I feel very fortunate in that I have a ticket to the Papal Mass in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. To say that I am excited about seeing the Holy Father would be an understatement (and that comes from a reporter who has seen her share of "famous"people) -- but seeing the Pope IS different, and I can hardly wait! Your advice to listen carefully to the Holy Father's also words struck a chord in me, and I promise to do just that. Hi Lauren –

I too have a friend who happens to be a Roman Catholic priest withe a strong intellect. He too is able to weave the complex in with the simple in such a fashion that the average "common folk" is able to comprehend what is being conveyed. Persist, do NOT give up in pushing the mind to stay tuned in to what is being stated. J.

I hope that people truly listen to what the Holy Father says. Our culture needs his message, the message that is timeless and was given to man from the very beginning. The message isn't Benedict's. He is merely the messenger, raised up by God for these times, as Lauren said. Please listen America, and take it to heart! Our future truly depends on it.
