We have an advantage that the Church has never had before. We have had two great faithful back-to-back teachers in JP2 and Benedict who did guide us for the better part of 35 years through unbelievable modern problems. They did what Our Lord told them to do - they fed his sheep well. With that being said we are being put into the position of defending the Faith like never before.
After Vatican II, the wolves descended upon us and created much havoc. This time around we know what we need to know.
If you think about it, we, being well-fed, are in the prime position for the fight.
JP2 told us to "be not afraid." We have been well prepared.
The very least Francis could be doing is raising theological questions on the assertions made in the Islamic codex (which is their code of observance and behavior) known as Sharia, Beginning with this question

Instead of equating their bizzare concepts of what a Monotheistic Creator is and requires with what Judeo/Christian beliefs are. While they in the belief that they are following Gods command are ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroying their edifices.
In days gone by people like this were burned at the stake.
May JP2 and Benedict guide the Church....
We could use a black Pope. Cardinal Sarah
I think you would do better asking Christ to guide your denomination but thats just me
