Yes, that's pretty much what I have decided. He won't be around long enough to do much if any damage. But people do tend to think that we are a bunch of robots that follow any Pope blindly. That simply is not true.

I'm not Catholic but I watch EWTN from time to time because we're supposed to be watchmen when it come to the latter days, and I see no evidence that Catholics are refusing Francis' liberal message.

Here is the thing. Conservative and Liberal political labels are not really the same in the Church as they are in the political arena. Even the most liberals nuns/sisters and priests are not generally pro-abortion. They may lack the courage to say anything to liberal politicians but it's true.

In Church our disagreements center on emphasis. Example many of us want the Bishops to be more pro-active about abortion, not that any Bishop is pro-abort, but some make it more their emphasis then others. Others want to focus more on the poor and the immigrants. In both cases it really boils down to who we each think should pay for it.
