Jorge Borgoglio is not the first incompetent to be elected Pope, and he will not be the last. Let us hope that is reign is short, and that his successor follows in the footsteps of John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

I just visited Krakow where John Paul II (then Bishop Karol Wojtła) was bishop for 40 years. The city is papered with plaques and displays showing his faith for Christ and his heroism against Communism. Sent chills down my spine and made me cry at one point thinking about the three lions of the West -- Thatcher, Reagan, and John Paul II -- and how they stood tall and put down the soviets as a rotten evil empire that denied their subjects the right to be human.

This pope is nothing compared to John Paul II. I occasionally wonder why I never feel any pull whatsoever toward the RCC despite a deep respect for that church, its faith, and its theology. Then I see Francis and realize why. Very frustrating, and I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for my politically conservative catholic friends to hear him come out with stuff like this.
