From the NY Times this morning, in reference about the new pope.

"A few steps away, the Rev. M. Price Oswalt, a priest who serves two parishes in Oklahoma City, was exultant about the cardinals' choice. 'He'll correct the lackadaisical attitudes that have been able to creep into the lives of Catholics,' he said. 'He's going to have a German mentality of leadership: either get on the train or get off the track. He will not put up with rebellious children.' "

German mentality of leadership..get on the train???? Nice anology there, guy from Oklahoma City.

I get what he's saying- hardline, back to the basics and all that. But it's a little too...you know..."why don't you all herd onto this cattle car to Baden Baden" for me.
