I can sling my own arrows about some traditional posters here who goad people into making intemperate comments.  I really think if you read the posts of old timers here, you will not find uniform thinking on Francis. He most certainly has his blind spots and a tendency to take advantage of the moment to push a particular agenda.  I'm not personally sure what the agenda is supposed to accomplish given he does nothing to actually change the cultural environment which his agenda is aimed at.  One could wonder if it's all smoke and mirrors and he has more in common with our current American President than I might ever want.

Victor is not totally off base.  There are some folks who are here do not particularly add much to the thinking in these threads.  I would not personally classify you in that category, but we all at one time or another, sink to the lowest level. Oh well, life is an evolutionary effort and sometimes there is back sliding.
