your opinion on the pope francis?
I do not follow what the Pope says that closely.
It is amazing how he has turned around the image of the Church from that of sexual abuse to that which welcomes the outcast.
It does seem that he speaks very freely and expresses a welcoming hand to the sinner. This is easily confused with denying the Catholic moral code. One has to listen very carefully to what he says.
I was a bit shocked some time ago to read in South Africa's Catholic paper, not know for its orthodoxy in my limited experience, that his aids had to rewrite quite a few of his statements so as not damage Catholic teaching.
Pray for him, pray for me, pray for everyone. Many blessings!
