Thomas Williams - Pope Francis is just another political fool and current 266th Pope. Much like all of the other very bad Popes when the Catholic Church was run so corruptly back throughout the centuries. So this is nothing new for the Catholic Church that they are not a true and good ambassador of Jesus Christ wonderful divine love. Money and power are the current Catholic Church God that is being led by another political Pope. That they now have a serious problem because the real God said. #1- You shall have no other gods before Me.

S Greg OBrien - By far the BEST POPE ever elected by the College of Cardinals (hint Fed Kellner) by the comments here it is quite clear that most people are ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS about the Catholic church. The fact that a Pope is an actual advocate for SOCIAL JUSTICE comes from a tradition that popes have embraced for centuries. The fact that the previous pope was so bad, has skewed people's understanding of what a true quality pope really is all about.

Michael Darlak, Yes, he's a good Pope. He communicates well with Protestants, and non-Christians like his willingness to bring the Church into the 21st century. Soft on orthodoxy makes traditionalist raise an eyebrow. He's not the Brilliant philosopher that St. John Paul II was or the very gifted theologian Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI is, those two set the bar. Pope Francis is smart though, he knows what the Church needs. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

John Wareham, He still heads an organization that routinely protects sex abusers, prevents abusers from being prosecuted and then demeans victims by suggesting that fasting and prayer is an adequate consequence for child sex abuse. He may better than other popes but in no way can the word good be applied to him.
