I find this all very interesting. While some of these folks will return to practicing their religion, many sound to me like their “change of heart” is superficial.

It is nice that they are inspired by Pope Francis’s humble example, but the 2 previous Popes were also humble and holy men. The end result desired is a change of heart and to follow in Jesus’s footseps, converting yourself to be a follower of Jesus, not a person who wants the church to change according to their own values. The gal who went to a Unitarian Church does not sound like a serious Christian believer to me, but that is my own opinion. At least for now we stil have religious freedom in the USA, which is all for the good.

I used to be as dingbatty as any dingbat in this article. Running with my appetites and impulses, a soft-core handwringing pro-choicer, "It can't be wrong 'cause it feels so right," the works.

I think if I could convert, anybody could.

Hold the door open. God wants them. In their heart of hearts, they probably know they need to be saved, and the comfort-pleasure-ease society around them ain't gonna do it for them.

Lord, save us!
