The Pope of the Church for good reason
Desired that talks go in the season
In private behind doors
Let ideology pause
To talk of Church's future, undivided and clean

“'I would like to remind these people that backwardness is useless,' Francis, 86, told a group of fellow Jesuits early this month in a meeting at World Youth Day celebrations in Lisbon. 'Doing this, you lose the true tradition and you turn to ideologies to have support. In other words, ideologies replace faith.'”
Reminder: the right-wing bloc controlling the Supreme Court is all Catholic but Gorsuch, who was raised Catholic. Court kingmaker Leonard Leo: Catholic.
"The pope lamented the 'backwardness' of some American conservatives who he said insist on a narrow, outdated and unchanging vision. They refuse, he said, to accept the full breadth of the Church’s mission and the need for changes in doctrine over time."

"The #Vatican sought to defend #PopeFrancis on Tuesday after the pontiff sparked fury in #Ukraine by praising #Russia's imperial rulers — a history President Vladimir #Putin has invoked to justify his ongoing war.
The #Kremlin delighted in the controversy, which stemmed from comments Francis made to a group of young Russians urging them to see themselves as the heirs of a 'great' empire."
