This Pope talks too much. He reminds me of the current US President.

They're both left-wing ideologues who have been given the Bully Pulpit.

And both their ‘common man’ acts are just that. They are champagne socialists.

If the pope is so concerned about the poor, perhaps the Vatican should sell off some of its art treasures. Not likely.

Doesn’t seem to grok the church’s theological expectations of him, unless he’s a Lutheran plant to do to the church’s reputation what poor Martin never could :-)

(for the record I am a staunch Protestant. but I care because when part of Christendom becomes not just wrong but clownish, all of Christendom suffers.)
