To: E. Pluribus Unum

I would have you know that before this pope I had given serous thought to the idea of converting to Catholic. I thought perhaps foolishly that the centralization of catholic doctrine gave a kind of stability of faith needed to remain true to God.

Now I see that it also comes with great risks of sudden instability and radical shifts into madness.

Althou I do not think this pope will be the end of the Catholic church, I do think his long term effects will be a weaker Catholic faith and institutional church.

One cannot appeal for the advancement of those monetary & political interest while also seeking the advancement of the spiritual.

If the Teaching of God is to say anything at all on the subject of the management of wealth it is to the individuals who have earned that wealth not to those who would take it for others.
