		In the case of Navarro Valls, his credibility comes from the solidity of his "ethos," his control of his emotions and the constant appeal to reason, to proofs.
		The reason is clear: For someone who had lived with John Paul II a pontificate willing to show the reality of man in all his dimensions, also in sorrow and sickness, the culmination of that course is, undoubtedly, to show death as part of life and, for the believer, as access to eternal life.
		From my point of view, Navarro Valls' work in the last days of John Paul II was one more example of his function over these years: to help John Paul II -- and, with him, the whole Church -- to teach us to live and die in Christ.

		When he was asked by a reported in the late 1990s to comment on a priest in Connecticut who was being sought for a major insurance/stock swindle, Navarro-Valls said, for the record, mind you, "What you have to remember is that the man is a Jew." The priest in question was a convert from Judaism.
		Thus, it is not hard to fathom Joaquin Navarro-Valls encouraging Steve McEveety to keep using "It is as it was" as a way, quite legitimately, I should add, to put a thumb in the eye of Jewish critics of Mel Gibson and The Passion of the Christ.
