Scaffolding

I was under the weather yesterday, and not up to replying, but doing better now. So, belatedly, thanks, Grunt, for your thoughtful reply to my silly, disjointed comments. Helps me have a better scaffolding on which to hang things, and filled in some gaps in my meager understanding. Same with discussion on the She Might Be Crazy thread.

Shortly after I first read your reply, I also ran into this, so, passing it along.
Don't Be Fooled, Pope Francis Will Never Capitulate
Paul Bois / Truth Revolt

Pope Francis has only one vision for the Catholic Church: a church of shepherds, not sheep; of pastors, not clergy; of teachers, not scholars. He wants a Catholic Church that reaches out and changes people's hearts rather than hunkering behind a fortress while the secular world encircles it on all fronts. He has no desire to change doctrine, and the previous synod, wildly misreported by the media, reflected that.
