I feel for conservative Catholics, cleric and
lay, in this time. But I encourage them
to not confuse style with content. What
Francis is saying isn't anything all that earth shattering:
Judge not lest ye
be judged.
Worry about the
beam in your own eye before worry about the splinter in your brother’s.
Let he who is
without sin cast the first stone.
It’s only radical because he seems to mean
it. And if it makes you uncomfortable, good.
I also want to applaud Benedict for the
truly humble act of stepping down. Benedict
has given us the gift of Francis, I truly believe Benedict’s resignation was
moved by the spirit. By tossing the
church a curve ball, and not giving the politics time to set in, he allowed
them to respond from the spirit.
