I want a pope.........Instaurare Omnia in Christo, "to restore all things in Christ."

After many conversations this week with good Catholics, it is clear that we need leaders in the intellectual life of the Church.

Piety is just not enough. Too many of the laity are stuck in piety. They have not developed an adult faith.

We need another scholar pope. Pastoral is not enough.

We need priests who know how to interpret the Scripture from the Catholic point of view.

We need intellectual priests to help us all with apologetics and evangelizing.

We need nuns who have vision for the future because they know the past.

I know of fantastic Catholic libraries which no one touches, elegant books gathering dust.

The tradition of the ages is being lost daily with Religion-Lite.

We no longer need Religion-Lite.

We do not need popular priests, or popular bishops or media popular cardinals.

We need seriously holy men at the top, in the middle and at the bottom of the hierarchical ladder.

We need mature men, with experience not merely with people but with God.

I want a new pope who is, first of all, a man of prayer.

I want a pope who is a saint, like St. Pius X.
