Please, your assessment is ridiculous and ludicrous. The “pope” is not some weak, addled brained adolescent who is totally incompetent, being taken advantage of and mislead. He knows exactly who and what Pelosi is but instead of roundly condemning her and excommunicating her he is meeting with her anyway because it is all about P O W E R and associating with those who have it.

The Church is not usually inclined to turn away those who come knocking at its door, even if they are Pharisees whose intentions are less than honorable.

Jesus himself ate with tax collectors and prostitutes and debated with the Pharisees on a number of occasions.

The Pope is a courteous, humble man who usually offers hospitality to those who request a hearing.

Thank you. Those who criticize the Pope for not adhering to Gospel values do not seem to understand the Gospels very well. Yes, Jesus did eat with many that he disagreed with. As my favorite priest always says, “the church is not a shrine for the saints, it is a hospital for the sinners.”
