And it has surprised the MSM and the Left in general every time there is a new pope elected, at least since John Paul I that the pope eventually turns out to be Catholic. Francis, or rather the reporting about Francis does cause me to worry about him from time to time but the bad news still turns out to be projections of the liberals rather than actual performance. The liberal fog machine has been running harder this time than previously so it is harder to see the actual man but that will probably change when the libs finally decide that they can’t pep talk Francis into being a an Episcopalian and/or a Marxist with a neon halo.
One could wish. I haven’t seen an alternative explanation of his jag on “global warming/climate change” however which is lousy science. Not the first time the Church didn’t listen to the best science, however.
