Good article.

As much can be learned about Francis from what he doesn't say, as from what he says. He seldom mentions traditional Catholic devotions, especially those involving the Eucharist, such as the importance of making frequent Holy Hours before the Blessed Sacrament. He himself never kneels before it but stands like an insolent schoolboy with a scowl on his face.

All things considered, including his cavalier attitude to who may receive the Blessed Sacrament, his infrequent references to devotion to it and his obnoxious attitude when in its presence, I've come to the conclusion that Francis does not truly believe in the Real Presence.

From the article:

**Thus, I find it curious so little attention is paid in His Holiness’s exhortation to the pivotal role played by the sacraments in attaining holiness. Indeed, to attempt holiness without them would be, well, to flirt with neo-Pelagianism, wouldn’t it?**
