New Pope and Biden being Biden

I'm not really going to say much about Pope Francis today. However, I will say that when Bill says he's optimistic about the Pope then maybe we pay a little closer attention. Bill said:

"So, in spite of everything, I'm again hopeful about Pope Francis. His homily this morning was wonderful and his ring is designed after Paul VI's, the man who shepherded Vatican II to its completion.

"This segment of the homily was especially good:

"'Let us never forget that authentic power is service, and that the Pope too, when exercising power, must enter ever more fully into that service which has its radiant culmination on the Cross. He must be inspired by the lowly, concrete and faithful service which marked Saint Joseph and, like him, he must open his arms to protect all of God's people and embrace with tender affection the whole of humanity, especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important, those whom Matthew lists in the final judgment on love: the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick and those in prison (cf. Mt 25:31-46). Only those who serve with love are able to protect!'

"That's what we were taught at John Carroll University. We were made men and women for others and to do unselfishly and with love more than we thought we could. Always AMDG."
