47. I was raised Catholic
six years of sister school and I consider myself a survivor. I understand why some people have a great deal of anger toward the church and I understand why others find great comfort in being Catholic. I say that cuz I don't want to argue about that, but about your view that the Pope meets on his terms. I think that the Pope is showing tolerance, accepting people as they come and the baggage they bring along. Sort of like in Les Miserables when the priest accepts Jean into his home. I find comfort that he rises about pettiness and wordly insecurities.
