Pope Francis revealed that he stole something from another priest–his confessor, no less. He wanted to remember the man who had done so much for him, so, when he died, he took his confessor’s rosary beads. What’s worse, he is still in possession of those stolen goods.
Just think of the scandal: the Catholic Church is being run by an admitted sinner, a human being with weaknesses, someone who makes mistakes (like the recent inadvertent use of an inappropriate word in a homily). He must be insecure, too, because he asked Catholics worldwide, in a survey, what their thoughts and feelings were instead of steadfastly dictating that “This is the way it’s always been, and this is the way it will remain.” Now, I ask you, what kind of leader is that for the Church? What would Jesus do? I wonder.
