There’s an old story about a young preacher who was visiting a country church where he though he could really wow them; however, after services one of the elders, a through and through country boy of advanced years, pulled him aside and asked him if he was “sent, or did you just went?”
Now this pope is no whipper-snapper, not by any means, but he’s seeming like he needs to be questioned by the same elder on a number of things.
He probably has fifty years of experience with the church which in reality is one years of experience repeated fifty times.
