@NeedaChuckle – That may be his particular theological/political bent but I don’t think that’s what’s going on here.
Conservative Catholics have ruled the upper echelons of the Vatican for a long time. And when I speak of Conservative Catholics I am talking about Social Conservatives.
This New Pope (Who I think is an honest to goodness Hero) is telling them that Jesus would have focused more on helping the poor and oppressed and would have spent little if no time at all judging people for the sins they commit. An opinion I quite agree with; though I’m not Catholic.
The Conservatives hate being called out for the judgmental hypocrites they have become and are pushing back, Hard!!!
This new Pope will bring some astounding and refreshing changes to the beleaguered Holy See. Assuming he survives. The papal seat has been filled and vacated with some rapidity in the past. Popes that have tried to change the church too aggressively, in the past, have been known to suffer unfortunate accidents.
