This pope is more of a political leader than a spiritual one. I’m not Catholic and it isn’t my intention to offend the Catholics on this forum. However, many of the popes over the years have not been spiritual leaders. There have been some very good ones, but this new pope isn’t one of them.
It may be because you aren’t Catholic that you have never seen a Pope as a spiritual leader, including this one. Attend Mass sometime (you are welcome at my church) and you will hear the Priest speak of the Popes spiritual outreach. It’s always there.
I read a similar comment, on another forum, recently. The poster said something like “I don’t want my Pope to be a politician”.
I cannot recall previous Popes being as political as this one, but, I don’t remember any Popes before the ‘80’s, so not sure.
NO offense intended, to Catholic FRiends, as well.
