Kevin - I am not a Christian, but I agree wholeheartedly with the comments the example that the Pope is setting. It is important that we *see* infirmity - that it is not shuffled away and hidden as if it were some disgrace.
Tnis most public of men is setting a brave and courageous example. I wish him comfort and ease in his physical decline.
