[Servant of the Cross]

I think the Pope is a good man and wants to see some good in everyone.

I agree completely. I also believe that this is the necessary starting point to understanding Pope Francis and whatever he is communicating. He is laser focused on finding "... the 99 who we’re missing!”, wherever they are.

Regarding the age old question ... 'Is man inherently good?' ... Pope Francis answers with a resounding 'Yes!'.

"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more."

Which tells me he is very naive. It also hints at a bad understanding of original sin, human nature, and a host of other things.
