Things don’t translate as well in writing sometimes - it was meant to be like a friendly jibe like I would do if talking with a lot of friends. Not so much tarring everyone with the same brush. That being said there seems to be some here who are looking of the new Pope to fail or wanting to strain out a gnat and thereby miss the whole of the message.

I see it all the time in the left-wing media. Every time they get a comment that sounds slightly to the left of Benedict, they jump up and yell “Yes, Francis is the anti-Benedict!” and act like the pontiff is now going further left than people like Archdruid Rowan Williams or Justin Welby.
