Frank The Pope

Frank the Pope is a star let it be said, after nine months as Catholic in Chief he has charmed even born again Atheists to sing his praises. 

With an almost avoidance of below pelvis issues he has neatly charted a course of everyman humanities.
 
This can only be a good thing considering the straight jacket mentality of retiree Benedict XVI's Ratzinger. 

While the traditionalists cite cherry picking Catholicism and warn of deep schisms they must be at least relieved that the conversation has move away from derriere kissed choirboys and financial inappropriate at the Vatican Bank.
 
Frank the Pope clearly realizes that in order to keep and expand the flock he has to reset a more inclusive and realistic agenda if the Holy See is to remain more than just a tourist site. 

If you don’t go out into the crowd and meet the faithful how can they have any faith in you? 

If you don’t talk about poverty and refer to split level social divide then Bronze Age doctrine means nothing (if it ever did in the first place, whoops couldn't resist).
 
Is this a clever ploy to divert attention away from some of the heinous crimes and misdemeanors of the past? If so it seems to be working. 

However there appears to be a genuine quality about Frank that transcends religion of any brand, a fundamental goodness that radiates and allows for the skeptic to soften somewhat. 

Whether this continues only time will tell, it would be perplexing for such a redux to occur when so much rides on the modernization of the Church of Rome. 

If they don’t want to be the Microsoft of religion then they have to reinvent and rejuvenate.


Hallelujah
