Not a Catholic, but diggin' the new pope!
Pope says gays should not be judged
The Pope addressing homosexuality in a compassionate way? Holy smokes!
Also, his words on women in the Church? Very controversial. True, he says the CHURCH has closed the door on ordainment of women, but that women should still have a role in the ministry. This guy? whew. He's a breath of fresh air. His position doesn't necessarily coincide with the Church's position. When he finally gets it that he has the power, as pontiff, to change the rules??? Whew. Catholicism is going to be radically different... Let's hope no one kills him before he manages to start a revolution.
