These college kids are just trading in vague generalities spoon fed them by a shallow, drive-by media. What’s the big change in “charity, service (and) money” teaching by this pope? There is none. This pope teaches the same things on these issues Benedict and John Paul taught. For all the talk about Kasper and the Church teaching on marriage, Francis has said that the teaching cannot and will not be changed. I admit I didn’t care for the “Who am I to judge?” comment. I personally believe that Francis was only trying to say that some people are so screwed by sexual abuse and family/abandonment issues that they may not be as culpable for their objectively grave actions because their wills are compromised by anxiety and compulsion. Despite his unfortunate comment, Pope Francis reaffirmed that marriage is between a man and a woman in his first encyclical. There’s so much gossip and idle speculation about what this pope supposedly believes and is supposedly going to do. And then when he acts or speaks differently on an issue than the gossip, the issue is dropped and a new one is started.

...I don’t much care for the socialist tendency in a number of his remarks on wealth distribution...but I believe he will be a short term pontiff...
...the modernists in Rome, having a very short window in which to establish their Vatican II ecclesiastical utopia on earth, will install a third world puppet in the seat of Peter, in hopes of driving a social liberation agenda, which will, of course, destroy the traditional Deposit of Faith, their ultimate goal in the first place...which will please the author of this drivel, and in addition, millions of the Catholics currently occupying modern church pews...
