Don't buy his populist rhetoric. The new pope is every bit the sexist homophobe as his predecessors...
While the pope transmits a populist vibeparticularly about the economy he is an old-school conservative who, despite his great PR, maintains nearly all of the socialpolicies of his predecessors and keeps up a hardline Vatican cabinet.

I don’t know. If so, he might want to use it for — um -— personal hygiene.

So very true. Late last year I was reading a book in which the author stated that we needed the spirituality of both Benedict and Francis. I nodded in agreement then realized before turning the page that this was an older book.
It made me appreciate the meaning behind the name choices of the last 2 popes and ties in exactly to what you just posted. But talk about an eerie feeling..

Staurophobe. Thank you, I learned a valuable new word.<p
If I may ask, would you tell me what “Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi” means?

It was only a matter of time. The liberals were the ones who completely misrepresented Pope Francis (Time magazine man of the year) with the full intent of making him into what they wanted him to be and hoping against hope that either he or others in the Curia would assist them in that process. So does this mean that I'll no longer see posts saying that the MSM has taken Francis out of context, misquoted, etc?

Wow. This Anna March just got that the Pope is CATHOLIC, not Episcopalian.
She’s smart that one.
