I see it all the time in the left-wing media. Every time they get a comment that sounds slightly to the left of Benedict, they jump up and yell “Yes, Francis is the anti-Benedict!” and act like the pontiff is now going further left than people like Archdruid Rowan Williams or Justin Welby.
Yes my friend and it is oh so easy to make or break a person if a few words are taken out of context or at random.
What I have had to take to heart from this Pope is that I should question my motivation on things and if Jesus is not first and foremost in my mind and the second thing to help others to know him then I had better refocus because I do not want to end up like the Pharisees who did all the right religious things but did not even recognize him when he came.
