As a practicing Roman Catholic I feel I need to remind everyone that this institution has had all kinds of bad popes and when they forget the admonition “My Kingdom Is Not Of This World” .This church gets into all sorts of trouble. But survives.
These meandering homilys of This pope on temporal matters diffuse any theologic message Pope Francis offers. Snowballs should be thrown at those pointy hat supporters of his as well as opposition clearly expressed to those meanderings on any visit Francis may make here.
And it will always survive because it's leadership is so easily and willingly co-operative with whatever "Political" agenda is in play on the world stage, her history reveals this is just the way it operates. Meanwhile the membership stews and frets til the next Pope comes into place...as they watch the current Pope make his rounds in the world....and repeats the same.
