Pope Francis’ installation homily emphasized protecting the environment and caring for one another, especially the weakest and poorest of the world. That’s my kind of Pope. And priest. I hope he and the Curia (they often have a warring relationship similar to that of the President and Congress) can work together toward those ends.
Meanwhile, I’m basking in the warmth of a new romance–with a man who seems to care about all of Creation (human and otherwise) and a priest who reads the New Testament the way I do.
