Unfortunately, during the decades following Vatican II sin, in the eyes of many, has become subjective and those calling themselves Catholic look upon the Church as a cafeteria.
I don’t think of him as a whip cracker at all. I might have thought that before he became pope, but no more. He’s more of a firm father who never raises his voice but doesn’t condone either. One that lets you learn by experiencing the consequences of your behavior.
