Mama assigns me problems; we have a little booklet; I could do the same with you then as well. But why haven't you written us anything lately? I just think: "At Easter...

Anyway, when I visit him nevertheless in July and go hiking with him, it will be more of a pleasure for me than for him; the love between parents and children is always somewhat onesided, but nevertheless not unhappy! But when I get preached to by Mrs. Besso...
...world. My experience in the dioceses gives me a firsthand perspective from direct contact with the people affected by these cases. You learn the details of what has happened, and how cases can differ from one to another. We have to keep our eye on what justice requires. When Papa Ratzinger welcomed you to the new job, did he have any advice on how to handle such a responsibility? No [laughs]. He just smiled, and said...
