It appears he does not have a close relationship with Christ. Our former Popes Benedict and John Paul were very spiritual, very pious. Pope Francis seems very secular, not in touch with the Divine. I wish I were wrong. I was not concerned about the piety of our two former popes. I remain concerned, alert and sometimes wary about our present one. Even as I have these thoughts, even as they assail me, I love him very much and pray for the best outcome. I will remain respectful, hopeful and not disparage his reputation.<br /><br />Thank you, Julie, for keeping us informed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295216097759159424noreply@blogger.com
