Thank you for discussing the backlash against Pope Francis. I find the hate baffling. It feels political, self-serving, like jumping on the cultural warrior-clown-car, and clearly antithetical to the teachings of Christ. My mother was a charismatic Catholic, and like most mystics, deeply spiritual. My mother would have honoured Pope Francis, and recognized a fellow deeply spiritual soul. After ten years the American bishops ongoing flagrant opposition to Pope Francis sounds like so much noise. Drown it out with some beautiful sacred music 🎶
