Francis is starting to make Paul VI look like a staunch defender of the Faith.

I was thinking something similar...that this new Pope makes JP2 look almost traditional. I think that Francis may not be very bright. How could he make those comments and not know that the media would pick them up and make them into headlines? It's all very distressing. And on top of the Franciscans of the Immaculate not being able to celebrate the TLM without permission. I partly blame the cardinals who elected him.

I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He's crazy like a fox - much like the fox Our Lord referred to in St. Luke 13:32.

You're probably right. I always like to give the Popes the benefit of the doubt, but that's increasingly difficult to do. I feel like the cause of tradition within the Church is being set back 10 - 20 years.

Just in case anyone hadn't figured it out already, it is now clear beyond any doubt why Cdl. Mahony was so ecstatic when the current putative pope was picked.
