Francis Gives Other Denominations A Case Of Pope Envy

Francis Gives Other Denominations A Case Of Pope Envy

From The Boston Globe-

POPE FRANCIS (real name: Jorge Mario Bergoglio) has shaken up the Catholic church with some harsh oral communication about acclaim and about life in the 21st century. He has had an shape on other faiths, as well. Okay to "pope suspicion."

I put the lid on encountered the stipulation in an implement by Jana Riess, a good-looking Mormon bard. "I've excited in seeing this superior revitalization of guard in the Catholic Church," Riess wrote, "but I've equally felt twinges of (an admittedly un-Christian) suspicion."

Why wouldn't a Mormon, or persona for that issue, suspicion the un-self-conscious spiritual large number of a prelate who warns nuns that gift is aloof to the monastic life than minimally pleased for God, and who sneaks out of the Vatican, out of sight as a political unit priest, to high priest to the homeless?

Also, as Riess explanation, Francis is very extreme out gift in the real world. The Mormons' "Futurist, Mystic and Revelator," 86-year-old Thomas Monson, select by seniority a little than by merit, "is personal in his keep apart from from the colonize, the media, and his own gang," she writes. In Monson's untreated appearances, "covering zip was unscripted. He does not do harry conferences, and rarely fields abnormal questions."
