An interesting interview with Fr. de Tanouarn of the Institute of the Good Shepherd. This particularly caught my eye:

What specific role does the Good Shepherd Institute play in this whole context?

The way I see it, we have a double function. We are quite near the bishops as we meet lots of them. Real relations can be built that way little by little –at least with some of them. It takes time, but scars from the past can be healed and mutual trust can develop between individuals, beyond personal agendas. Another thing we do is we try to unify all the forces on favor of Benedict XVI’s ecclesial policy, by organizing public events – such as the congress we’re planning in Paris next January to thank the pope, at the occasion of which there may be a little surprise.

There may be a little surprise? These are the kind of surprises I look forward to.
