Superior General On His Relationship With His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI

"At this moment, my relationship with Benedict XVI is quite open; it is a relationship of trust but not of political change.
Many people think that is there a shift in power from Opus Dei to the Society of Jesus.
I don’t think so. This pope is very discerning, and he moves on personal choice, with all the risk but also with all the limitations that this brings. This isn’t a choice for the Society of Jesus; instead, it is a choice for Father Federico Lombardi [the Vatican’s press director], whom he trusts, and for Father Luis Ladaria [the secretary of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith], whom he trusts. Therefore, we continue to have an open dialogue and to be in a relationship that is the best. We should neither be too close nor too distant. We belong to the Church. We are a part of it."

  2. Maybe something was lost in translation?
