The current pope does make a nice talking puppet for the church. Soft spoken, always saying nice gentle kind things. He can certainly talk the talk. Can he (the church) walk the walk?
I don't see any significant changes being made by the church. It almost feels like the church power brokers said "hey, we're in trouble here, lets deflect the negative issues by putting a feel good guy in as pope, if this goes on long enough things will calm down and the people will forget". If the issues die down, the church never really has to change.
And Golden Rule my ass. The church power brokers only apply the "Do Unto Others" portion. They need to have the "Do Unto You" applied to them.
I don't believe that he has any real power. It's all a show.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
