I’m very concerned about Pope Francis. Probably as much as non-Catholics were concerned about Pope Benedict (who followed dogma and doctrine and ticked off the liberals).
I got tickets for his visit to Philly and was going with my oldest, but kid #3 wanted to go too so I gave her my ticket for transit, etc. I think they’ll spiritually enjoy it all, far more than I would.
I’m flip flopping between “times have changed” and the “media lies” with “times have changed and we need to dig deeper for our spiritual guidance.” I’m hoping he’s not as politically marxist as he seems.
A break from the idiocy of FR would go a long way toward healing. If you spend the saved time reading great theologians and previous popes (e.g. Leo XIII) you will find that they sound nothing like the libertarian/Randian anti-Pope "conservatives" here on FR.
