Must read

NLM has a full translation of the Osservatore Romano interview with Msgr. Guido Marini, the Pope's Master of Ceremonies. Do yourself a favor and read the whole thing - it's densely packed with insights into from where the Pope is coming and to where he is going. As a minor history buff his accent on historical continuity as a proper hermeneutic and as a theological and liturgical key is both critical and intriguing. God has blessed us with this Pope, indeed.
