But I have been praying --- as many have -- for Pope Francis to be a better teacher of the truth --- and so when he does the right thing, it IS an answer to prayer.
It is a slighting of the Holy Spirit, I think, when we do not notice small steps in the right direction.
Remember the false prophet in the OT, Balaam, who was recruited by one of Israel's enemies to prophesy curses against Israel. The Lord prevented him, and made blessings come out of his mouth. It can happen.
YES it can,
because with God,
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
I watch closely for the Signal Graces in things both
great and small because I am often surprised and
delighted by His Kindness, Mercy and Love.
Thank you for all of your thoughtful posts
