39. I guess I will be the one who says...
When are folks going to stop being gullible to "symbolic gestures" & demand REAL CHANGE?
Just saying...This Pope has done nothing to help victims of all the child rapist the church has helped avoid prosecution or reverse any anti-women policies the church has held onto for far too long.
Sorry, all i have seen from this Pope is smoke & mirrors designed to make folks feel comfy without changing one thing. Hell, it has worked for centuries so I can't blame the Pope for doing what has kept the Boy's Club in power for all this time.

Well theatre did begin as a religious thing.

Very dangerous, if you ask me. Look what happened to Pope John Paul #1.
The religious hierarchy in the Catholic church does NOT like to acknowledge women in any way. To the Catholic church, every woman since Mother Mary has been a major disappointment to Gawd.

12. I fear for his safety too.
Between the extremists, mentally ill people and those in the Curia who will not appreciate any attempt at reform, this Pope better watch his back.
THEY chose him, you stupid scrunt.

13. JP #1 was assassinated precisely because he *was* going after the Vatican Bank, yes?
They may let this Pope get away with symbolic gestures.
They let Martin Luther King "get away" with integrating buses, schools, hotels, et al. But when he started going after the money in a serious way -- the Poor People's March on Washington -- well, then the ever-ready "lone nut" card was deployed.

55. He also wasn't tough on commies
The next Pope was staunchly anti-communist.

18. No, this church isn't misogynistic.
It always has an ironclad excuse for why it treats women as the lesser sex.

You're one funny DUmmie.
As I have stated for years, symbolic gestures are the only thing that means anything to you, your fellow DUmmies, and Islamic terrorist muslims.
It is simply how you think. If you changed your thinking you may heal your DUmmieness.
Always remember, DUmmieism is a choice you made. Only you can unmake it.

I was most impressed at the research some at DU have done on the Mother Church. Peace Patriot was outstanding. I never thought I would give a ^5 to anyone at DU, I will have to keep an eye on them as here is a Dummy that knows much.
Unfortunately I too agree with some of the posters in worry about the Popes safety. The little visit with him and the last Pope must have been a humdinger of a visit, most likely why the Pope Frank will not move into the special chambers in the Vatican. But then as our Pope had visited so often the Vatican he knew full well the walls had ears, ---Like the old movies where the portrates on the wall had human eyes behind them, watching and listening.
Being from South America, and able to survive the politics there he must realise how to tell an a foe from a friend, and by the looks of it his only friend is our past Pope that seems to have run for the hills.
Pope Benny and Pope Frank may just bring down the church if allowed to live much longer. I do hope both men have private security along with the Swiss guards, there is not millions but billions at stake here, reputations that are priceless and Power over millions of people.
From the very first day our new pope has flaunted traditions in the face of the very people that hired him as Pope, He is playing to a nasty crowd, corrupt, money hungry and into the power business.
It will be interesting to see if this Lamb of God can corral the wolves before they jump the fence and eat him all up.
