Ah--- bless your heart, MeOn. Actually, beinst we're Catholics, God generally doesn't speak direct to us, like, via cell phone.

Admittedly, direct word from God occasionally, miraculously, happens; but as a wise priest once told me, "Normally, God acts normally."

We hope Pope Francis is, and remains, in a state of Sancticfying Grace, which means he -- like any baptized person --- is a temple of the Holy Spirit .

Well, not to YOU anyway.

If you need aluminum siding, God sent me a discount code last night...

(seriously, I left the Church 30+ years ago and find myself in tears — bless Pope Francis)

From his wiki:
voiced support for social programs, and publicly challenged free-market policies.

The new Pope is a socialist. That doesn't bode well. His appointment will validate every Catholic that voted for Obama.

You could very well see this Pope calling for support for Obamacare from the Vatican.

This is not a good day.

His doctrinal views are conservative which is good. But as Rush said yesterday, he's one of those christians that is deceived in believing liberalism = charity. That giving away other peoples property forcefully = charity.
