Amen, Allison.
I have never enjoyed bragging rights on our own US Bishops Conference or their forthcoming “forays” into liberal causes and effects.
Certainly this pope has stepped on his mission by wagging with wags, and it hurts. I remain loyal to his kindness and his precious, loving face, but wince at his naivety on freedom and capitalism. His Argentinian experience belies the facts in so many cases.
Maybe the phrase, “bless your heart, Francis dear...” would be useful about now.
Yet I love him because he is willing to learn from his missteps.
It does seem like a rather difficult job, doesn’t it? ;-)

Probably the most succinct description I’ve heard yet. You expressed my own feelings perfectly.
