The Pope is trying to please everybody. This is not a good plan. Even God was only able to please 66.6 percent of his angels.
The Pope is trying to please everybody.
No, the Pope is trying to live like a good Jesuit, which often involves an intense focus on the issue immediately at hand and a “damn the torpedoes” attitude. Far from trying to please everybody, he largely ignores anyone who is not his immediate/intended audience. Whether or not this is a good attitude when one is in a position where there is a large not-immediate audience is debatable, but not a debate that is likely occurring to someone who has lived most of his life as a Jesuit.
