Francis’ papal motto is “miserando atque eligendo,” which in Latin means “by having mercy, by choosing him.”

Hmm; a more graceful translation would be:

Having mercy by choosing Him.

I love the subtley of using the left's much-vaunted concept "choice" in this way! May God help this man to help all Christians and through us, the fallen world in which we live.

Amen! Just when you don't think society can sink any lower, it does - now 50% of americans support gay marriage. We're sinking rapidly and it isn't just here ... it's global. Thanks for the post and ping.
