Thank you for these good and reasonable and gracefully-expressed thoughts.

I wish I were on Pope Francis' Media Management Team (which he probably doesn't even have.) Not that I'm an expert, but I have a few thoughts on how to avoid Media foot-faults. I would require a certain amount of scripting, which I know irks the guy. He probably talks with his hands, too! But hey, "sly as a snake."

Good day to you, Brother!

And also to you :)

And he will get better at it. The position he is in has few equals in media attention and scrutiny. If he’s just honest and well intentioned, that will come through.

This Christian thing isn’t complicated. Love God, understand that he saves you, its not your goodness or works, and Love your neighbor even when unlovable...because God loved you when you were. Its HARD to do, and we struggle with it, but its not complex. That is one of the reasons I like this Pope. I think he gets that its about pointing people to Jesus. I dont have a problem with the pomp and ceremony in a lot of Catholic things, its nice and reverent and I like those kind of things, but ultimately it needs to be for the sake of pointing to Christ.
