I think it's going to take way more than one good Pope to bust up the
contemporary image of Roman Catholicism! As for the Church having a *doctrine*
of social justice, caring for the oppressed, what good is it if the Church
hordes its Vatican gold plates while babies are starving in the world?!

It's just so startling hearing something like that these days from anyone but a
librul-type Protestant or Jew. Francis is really busting up the contemporary
image of Roman Catholicism. Of course Church doctrine has always had a very
strong social-justice, caring-for-the-oppressed component; it just hasn't been
the most evident theme in recent times.
