Pope Francis: "Thou shalt not frack!"

[calimary]

3. This pope certainly has his appealing moves!

Now, if only he'd get with the 21st Century on women's roles in the church...

I realize it's asking too much. And his uncompromising closemindedness on women in the priesthood and other such things - very discouraging.

HOWEVER... it's moves like this one here, where he seems to be about to throw a one-two punch to those who'd rape and pillage the planet for profit, combined with his less judgmental stand regarding gays, and of course his longtime efforts to focus on the poor (wasn't that the stated personal priority of Our Lord Himself?) - VERY encouraging. VERY encouraging indeed. Perhaps we can't take all the forward steps at once. But finally starting to take a series of them - very encouraging! This lifelong Catholic is impressed!
