...doctrine of Aquinas, which makes us go forward by taking risks, but in obedience.

I would be a liar if I said Pope Francis is always clear on what he teaches and preaches. When I hear admonitions from the Pope like the one stated, I say to myself, "what does that mean?"

When Jesus taught, He taught in a way that the simple and illiterate could understand Him OR He taught in a way that was intentionally obscure to the legalistic Pharisees and Sadducee. When His teaching was intentionally obscure to the Pharisees and Sadducee, Jesus would later explain to His disciples precisely what He meant by His parables.

If Christians needs anything from leaders in the Church - it's clarity that even the simple can grasp. Jesus is our example.
