You have to love Pope Benedict XVI
B16 From Last Week
“So we can learn many things from St James: readiness to welcome the call of the Lord even when he asks us to leave the ‘boat’ of our human securities, enthusiasm to follow him along the paths He indicates beyond our illusory presumptions, availability to testify to him with courage, and if necessary, to the point of the supreme sacrifice of one’s life. Thus James the greater comes before us as an eloquent example of generous adhesion to Christ. He, who wanted to sit with his brother besides the Teacher in his Kingdom, would be the first of the apostles to share his martyrdom.” The Pope added spontaneously: “Thus, James comes before us as an eloquent example of generous adhesion to Christ, and the journey – not only exteriorly but above all interiorly – from the mount of the Transfiguration to the agony, symbolizes the entire pilgrimage of the Christian life, between the persecutions of the world, and the consolations of God, as the Second Vatican Council said. Following Jesus as St James did, we know we will do well even in difficult times; that we are going down the right road.”

If you are talking Hollywood A-lister, then I would say Mel Gibson. If you are talking about anyone who has done anything that got them recognized in the news or on television or in print for their faith then it would have to be that girl from Columbine High School who refused to denounce that Jesus was her Lord and personal Savior even in the face of certain death. She is an inspiration and a hero.

Last genuine Christian ever lived on the earth was Mahatma Gandhi, who was more Christian than any Pope in Rome.
