Not that it won’t have to be done again tomorrow ...

What is the practical or spiritual benefit of finding fault with Pope Francis? Suppose he’s totally dead wrong about a lot of things. Does my observing this get me or someone else closer to God? Does it feed or clothe or educate or doctor anyone? Does it make anything more beautiful or even cleaner?

To me, it doesn’t seem like it would.

I quite agree with you. The problem is that if you have any role as a teacher (catechist, RCIA, editor of the parish newsletter) as a parent, or even as a person others look to for a sound Catholic perspective, it becomes obligatory to refute confusions and correct errors--- even papal confusions and errors --- and promptly and clearly reassert the Truth.

With a capital T.

I confess my own very poor performance on that score. But I believe God is asking me to do the right thing, screw my courage to to sticking point, and be an example for others.

BTW I'm stealin' your tagline.
