papal advice

... many jobs lead to the 'hardening of the heart', as well as 'suffering of the spirit'

~ Pope Benedict XVI, quoting Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

Yes, that's right. And it takes a theology nerd to be delighted with that quote. I love Bernard of Clairvaux, I've written two papers on him, and in particular his interpretation of the Song of Songs. You know he was a total romantic hey?
Anyhow, there was something else you mentioned in another blog entry that sounded like a line quoted out of my new favourites Giussani(I think you're a closet theologian).
