**As I have said all along, Pope Francis – like every Pope – has to learn how to be Pope. He had less of an advantage coming to the See of Peter because he had not been in or around the Roman Curia. But he is adjusting, learning, transforming. Francis, as you can see everyday, is not static in his job. He isn’t simply on cruise control.

Continue to pay close attention to Pope Francis, not just in sound-bites, but in the larger arcs of his talks and speeches and written documents.

This is not a bone thrown to conservatives. This is the real deal. This is Francis.**

I think Fr. Z nails it here.

What I find interesting is the fact that the Jesuit’s main role in their beginning was to put the rules of the Council of Trent into action. Now we have a Pope who will be finishing the details.

The Modernists and Leftists are always hoping for an Episcopalian Pope. They are necessarily always disappointed.God is not a Modernist.

After getting burnt by a journalist and a politician, HH seems intent on letting his intentions be known.

Way to communicate with the masses.

What the heck is a “hermeneutic”?
