“Jesus himself ate with tax collectors and prostitutes and debated with the Pharisees on a number of occasions.

The Pope is a courteous, humble man who usually offers hospitality to those who request a hearing.”

Thank you. Those who criticize the Pope for not adhering to Gospel values do not seem to understand the Gospels very well. Yes, Jesus did eat with many that he disagreed with. As my favorite priest always says, “the church is not a shrine for the saints, it is a hospital for the sinners.”

Perhaps the Pope will reach out to her and through the power of The Resurrection, save her. Like Esther, maybe this is why he is empowered. That being said, I am not a fan of The Pope, only of Christ himself.
