The Pope is a disappointment. He helps broker a deal which reestablishes normal relations between the USA and Cuba but forgets that there is no religious freedom in that communist wasteland. Over 2000 priests were forced to leave, killed and/or imprisoned and he does not even care to insist on normalizing relations between Cuba of the Catholic Church.

I have no use for Francis at this point. He is no John Paul II

I am not Catholic but I think he could be stronger on the Salvation message. The world needs Jesus. . .Quoting the bumper sticker that reads “Jesus is the Answer. . .Now What is the Problem?” could be good for starters :)

The commentator at Midnight Mass Rome said that the Pope picked the name “Francis” because St. Francis was a RADICAL! I never heard this crap in all my life.
