Can't be "bothered"? Is "Military Commander" part of the job description of being Bishop of Rome? Thant's what you want? Francis with a squadron of bombers? Like he'd be so good at it?

The first Pope, as I remember it, was disarmed by Christ --- when he was in the very act of defending Christ. Dang. I mean, dang!! You can't tell what Mashiach's going to do, sometimes.

I appreciate your points. But Pope Francis could do far more to defend the faith than being a military commander. Instead, he dances on the very cusp of heresy, while he seems intent on reinventing the Catholic Church as the PCUSA.
