So far Francis offers words. You might see great hope in those words, but many don’t. <br /><br />Since I’m not Francis and don’t personally know him, I can only sketch his character from what information he disseminates via the press.

It may seem ridiculous in how it is happening and the idea that it is being labeled by Pope Francis as a "Theology of Women" but I am grateful for the movement of the Holy Spirit that I sense is taking place here.

A person is hurt when someone whose opinion they value or whose approval they desire, rejects them or disapproves of them. <br /><br />I doubt that BXVI or Frank have ever or will ever read my blog. Maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, I don't think either of them seek my approval or good opinion.
