Tradition
Tradition means giving a vote to most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead.
Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death.
Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man's opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man's opinion, even if he is our father.
- G.K. Chesterton

An Aphorism
If Latin babies are born blind and Pelagian babies are born with 20/20 vision, then Greek babies are born in need of spectacles.

From one Catholic I would add my Amen to that prayer.
Totally aside from Orthodox/Catholic relations, I have heard very encouraging reports concerning Patriarch Krill and his zeal and approach to the renewal of Orthodox faith and morals in Russia.
"We would like to see a godly man upon the patriarchal throne, a man of humility, but not an innovator or a "modernizer"." AMEN. May God place such men in every Protestant pulpit also.
Are you pleased with the choice? Is this man's relationship with the Pope considered a good thing? What are your thoughts?
Are you pleased with the choice?
A cautious yes. Ultimately it is by his fruit that you will know a good hierarch.
Is this man's relationship with the Pope considered a good thing?
Depends. If it is used to try to force a union in any degree, no. If it is used to maintain a cordial and respectful relationship between Orthodox and Catholics, yes.
What are your thoughts?
Simply this: it is hard to know what a Russian "modernizer" (as he is purported to be) looks like. Dollars to doughnuts a Russian modernizer looks nothing like an American modernizer and may be a good thing.
