  I remember someone posting on here about the sadness they had lived through, with the JPII/Benny years. The writer was old now and was trying to put his life into perspective. He wrote about his life as being like two bookends. The first was the saint you quote, John xxiii. The other, Francis. All that stuff in the middle has been, eh, reviewed. And we are back to John again. It has to be a beautiful thought for many, older generation Catholics.
