Hey, I Am A Recovered Catholic & The Pope Is Making Sense?

[kpete]

I want to pay homage to your entire working community, to tell you that the Pope cares about you, follows you, esteems you and considers you precious. Journalism does not come about by choosing a profession, but by embarking on a mission, a little like a doctor, who studies and works so that the evil in the world may be healed. Your mission is to explain the world, to make it less obscure, to make those who live in it less afraid of it and look at others with greater awareness,and also with more confidence. It is not an easy mission. It is complicated to think, to meditate, to study more deeply, to stop and collect ideas and to study the contexts and precedents of a piece of news. The risk, as you well know, is to be overwhelmed by the news instead of being able to make sense of it. This is why I encourage you to preserve and cultivate that sense of mission that is at the origin of your choice. And I will do so with three verbs that I believe characterise good journalism: listen, investigate and report.

1. Cool Pope Frankie's All Right, Sir

Best you're likely ever to see in the office, certainly....

2. Francis is a very different type of pope. His mission is rooted in liberation theology,

and he walks the walk. He makes heads explode.

I really like him.

3. While I still don't agree with him on some social issues and

abortion, he’s been a much better Pope than other recent ones. Hoping after his papacy there isn’t a regression.

4. Lots do not care for his "liberal" standing on some issues......

just saying……he dies, there will be some heavy duty scaling back of some of his newer musings. My family for sure.
