I’ve heard people question whether or not the cardinals who elected him were guided by the Holy Spirit. Not to believe that the pope was legitimately elected causes schism. It’s painful to hear people question Pope Francis’ teaching. He has been faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and our long tradition. He teaches in a pastoral way, and at times he raises questions that do not have easy answers to help us think and turn to Christ. The Holy Father has been given to us by God, and his desire to care for us as a flock is quite evident.

That is his motive, huh?

The classic USCCB time-serving drone.

Think "Hall of Congress" of the former USSR, packed with loyal cadres, all applauding uber enthusiastically when the General Secretary walks to the podium.

Gee, thanks. Another bishop to go on my "Naughty" list.
