In a wonderful article in by James Carroll in the Boston Globe he has this to say about our new Pope: "Francis is pulling the church away from a dangerous position; any theology that divides humanity into those who are saved and those who are not — between those who can do good and those who cannot — is a violent theology. “This ‘closing off’ that imagines those outside . . . cannot do good,” the pope said, “is a wall that leads to war and also to what some people throughout history have conceived of: killing in the name of God. . . . To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.” Faith in God, the pope reminds us here, is no guarantee of morality." Gives me so much hope to have this wonderful man as the new leader of our Catholic faith!
