I'd argue that the bifurcation and ugliness that we see in the political world is mirrored to some degree in the RCC world as well.....

Francis on the other hand is a counterpoint to the "my way or the highway" approach of our very conservative RCC leaders...and this article is just one more example of his more pastoral and gentle style of "accompaniment".....

What we need is a Francis in our political world right now....and oddly enough it occurs to me that Tim Kaine has that quality to some degree or other.....

Tuesday night should be interesting.....
