...many people they would tell! And what confidence my patients had that day - in me. I heard no long-winded rebuttals based on what the lady in the checkout line thought I should do to treat their shoulders.

"At the same time we know this is a different Pope than John Paul, who touched so many with the charisma of his person. This is a theologian-Pope, who governs with his word."
