I just see so many of us praising this new pope, for his strictness, his holiness. . . Then we hate in our heart (I sure have), call names (ditto) and sin against God in so many ways.

I have a hard time reconciling all of that, I suppose.

I don't want the haters to ruin this thread. These people are here for one reason only--to disrupt.

And when they get people to have conversations like the one you and I are having right now, they succeed.

Christ told us it would be a difficult path, Paul reminded us as well, lean on Christ through prayer, avail you self to the sacraments He gave us through His Church, His grace will carry you when you can't go on. Believe me He will.
