That he is willing to allow his name to be used and to add his resources to this is great. There are many people who will take it more seriously because of the Pope.

I was also surprised with how much personal information Kerry had at the beginning of the oped and the obvious joy that he has both in addressing these issues and working with the Vatican. I never would have guessed in 2004 that JK is as religious a person as he is.
