Hi, Frank!

What I mean specifically: ordinary parish priests and even, to some extent, the bishops of small dioceses have contact with real people and their real problems. This is why they're so level-headed.

The Pope lives in a rarified world all his own. Just as an example: the Papal colors are white and gold. When the Pope goes "casual", he wears plain white sneakers -- with gold laces. Compared to his world, Queen Elizabeth is just folks.

Regards--
Mary Anne
