He’s probably one of the most brilliant theologians of the twentieth century (or our current century, or any century, for that matter). He’s an expert on the medieval philosopher and Franciscan Bonaventure, for example. But, as impressive as his scholarly abilities are, even more important, he shown himself to be a very kind and decent person.

I am greatly comforted that the prayers of this man will be with the conclave and with the new pope, whoever he is.
