Thanks for another interesting thread. Methinks the good Holy Father is quite guilty of breaking the Western cardinal rule that demands Western “nuance”, and Western pandering.
Francis often models the proverbial “bull in the china closet” with his proclamations, and certainly in observing our American self-centric reaction to everything he says, he appears to also have some Rhett Butler in him—wherein he might well say to the West, “frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”.
The man is not PC. Neither was, you-know-who.
