I understand where you are coming from. He talks too much. Give me the old style popes of my kiddiehood: foreign, distant, unknown.

It is hard to move from a freewheeling bishopric to the more constrained position of Pope, where every word is recorded and parsed.
Those "old style popes" were reticent for a reason - there were plenty of anticlerical folks in the press to seize on anything they said.
I think Pope Francis is figuring this out . . . at least I hope so.

But that was back in the days before the 24-hour cable news cycle and before so many in the media were willing to work toward destroying the Church.
