I'm glad that the spontaneous nature and setting of this talk allowed Benedict some room for humor, a side of him that is rarely manifest in his prepared homilies and speeches for more formal occasions.
Reading this, I couldn't help thinking something else as well: The Holy Father insists that he no longer has the strengths to carry out the Petrine ministry. I would never suggest I know better; I trust his prudence.
But certainly there is no indication that he has lost his most widely recognized gift--the gift of being a good teacher.
