He only refers to himself as the bishop of Rome, not the Vicar of Christ. Is that simplyfying the Church enough for you?

[irish guard]

He is a humble man, trying to impress more humility on the church. What is your point here? Pope Francis is a decent man trying to do decent hints. He grew up in a world of misfortune, where many poor people struggle. If he chooses to merely call himself the bishop of Rome, I see no harm. The Pope is, after all, the bishop of Rome is he not?
