Research is running on steroids in the hours since Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected to be our new Roman Pontiff, Francis. This is especially true with members of Communion and Liberation who are eager to see what connection they can make with the new Pope. Who could blame us?In the first paragraph Bergoglio writes about a lecture he gave on the Religious Sense where he says, "...I was not simply performing a formal act of protocol ... I was expressing the gratitude that is due to Msgr Giussani. For many years now, his writings have inspired me to reflect and have helped me to pray. They have taught me to be a better Christian, and I spoke at the presentation to bear witness to this."

Yesterday afternoon I posted here on Communio a Traces article, "The Attraction of the Cardinal."
