He's not going to like THIS pope. He probably loved Herr Von Popenfuhrer, though.

The Pope - After a Week In 'Murrica
|
 
Three on the tray, looks like she has one mostly eaten in her hand too O_O
AFAIK, the church is still not forcibly snagging pedophiles in their hierarchy and dragging them kicking and screaming to the nearest constabulary.
And they are still hiding assets to avoid paying legal judgments to their victims. Hell, the church would look at those two requirements as some weird over the top reaction, and I'd like to think most other people would feel it's the LEAST they could be doing. I don't think much has changed. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I just got home from work and I decided to abuse my intelligence by turning on Fox News. God, what fun! They are trying so hard to say all the "right" things about Francis while kicking the shit out of him for "not understanding" capitalism and for paying more attention to the likes of Al Gore, rather than real scientists, on the issue of climate change. If only we could get Francis to relocate the Vatican to NYC, the fun would never end.
I'm sure Fox will be relieved when he leaves. It must be a bitch pandering to the Catholics and holding the right-wing line all at once.

Both sides have things about them that are in line with Catholic teaching. On the left side, the Church is against the death penalty and concerned with the poor. On the right side, the Church is against abortion and pro traditional marriage. That's why I personally refuse to get too involved in politics, and more Catholics should follow suit, imho.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Yeah, but as my wife can attest, I am no Catholicism lover.
