George W. Rutler, pastor of St. Michael's church in New York City, having the Regensburg lecture in mind, refers to Mark and Jeremiah: "If a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, a great prophet is not without honor save in the whole world. ...Of one thing we may be certain: like the bold prophet Jeremiah, the benign prophet Benedict will never say in this world or from the next, 'I told you so.' Reality has said that already by events more than words."
