"Seriously, I’m beginning to feel like all I do is read, write, and dialogue about Francis, all day long and all night" http://www.patheos.com/blogs/theanchoress/2013/10/03/taming-the-constant-francis/<br />The post includes a link to a ton of good reflections on the week's portion from Pope Francis.<br />PLUS, Vatican Press Spokesman "Father Lombardi said that the pastoral care of families is the next major point of discussion in upcoming sessions" of the Pope with his handpicked advisory team of Cardinals: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/theanchoress/2013/10/04/francis-focuses-on-family-formation-over-family-illiteracy/Sister Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032465016160490375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950714.post-6844179881060790012013-10-03T15:10:41.346-05:002013-10-03T15:10:41.346-05:00I'm sure we'll find that clarity in his do...I'm sure we'll find that clarity in his documents and speeches, but I doubt he is going to change his conversational style any time soon. <br />Meanwhile, here's Archbishop Chaput weighing in from Philadelphia: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/archbishop-chaput-lauds-popes-display-of-gods-tenderness/<br />Sister Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032465016160490375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950714.post-36537681355095774892013-10-03T15:00:55.318-05:002013-10-03T15:00:55.318-05:00If he does continue like this, I think people will...If he does continue like this, I think people will start to lose interest after a while. The novelty will wear off. It might be a good thing, though, since these interviews seem to be a source of confusion as well as enlightenment. I hope he can start to speak with greater clarity. Perception is everything. Most people are not going to dig into Church documents or the Catechism to see that what's he's saying is perfectly fine. When I see Obama is praising Pope Francis' remarks on not "obsessing" over abortion, etc., I feel a little sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950714.post-29801421042438768112013-10-02T20:32:32.794-05:002013-10-02T20:32:32.794-05:00Thanks, Stormy and Yaya!

And above all, thanks and praise to the Holy Spirit who is showing us that God's workings are not bound to the human limitations of the past--although I rather suspect that what we are seeing in Papa Bergoglio is a return to the approach St Peter himself probably had in his own pastoral ministry in Rome.

I liked Papa Benedict too but was not paying much attention much to my detriment. <br />Now? I am paying attention to both and praying for them both and like you, I am jumping in and going along to learn, to grow, and to love!<br /><br />Gracias, Sister Anne!Yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345911107533618127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950714.post-53391072829911016962013-10-02T15:56:09.994-05:002013-10-02T15:56:09.994-05:00Sr. Anne, Just wanted to tell you that you are my ...Sr. Anne, Just wanted to tell you that you are my #1 hope for help in saving my soul amoung humans here on this earth.Thank you for your ministry,your blog,your instruction,and putting yourself out there.If ever i had a human guardian angel type,you would be it.stormynoreply@blogger.com
