Pope Francis I! |
|
This man is so humble, he takes public transportation instead of |
|
being chauffeured, cooks his own meals and lived in an |
|
apartment. |
|
I am really looking forward to his first encyclical, can we read |
|
it Doug? Please!?! |

I literally had just seen the article for the first time, and |
|
then an alert told me this had been posted. :3 |

Pope Francis I seems to me to be extremely meek and humble. I |
|
loved how he blessed Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI first and then |
|
asked for the whole world to pray for him before giving his |
|
first blessing. Did anyone else notice that he bowed the lowest |
|
when the world prayed for him. Everyone else on the balcony |
|
just tucked their heads, but he bent straight over? |
|
I really like him already. |

@ James He was quite humble, and I pray he leads the Church in |
|
the right direction, whatever it may be. |
|
@Elise I was watching on a live stream, and as soon as he |
|
stepped off the balcony I composed this thread. So you weren't |
|
too far behind. ;) |

I prefer to save my viewpoints until I have seen him work, he |
|
may be humble, but we do not know if he has any other qualities |
|
good or bad. |

Father Kauffmann seems to like him. We shall see what happens |
|
in the next few years. |

@Mary I would have to agree he might be humble but other than |
|
that I don't know much about him. I hope and pray that he will |
|
lead the Church down the path that God wants him to. But we |
|
shall see. I will say that I like his stand on abortion at |
|
least in principle. I am curious to see how he will follow |
|
through with his words. |
|
@Aidan I don't know if it will take a few years to see what type |
|
of leader he will be. Times like these good and bad qualities I |
|
have a feeling will become revealed in a very short time. So |
|
much is happening so fast that I think we will know what type of |
|
leader Pope Francis will be sooner rather than later. |
