Do you really get a good feeling from this Pope?


I am in no position to read his mind but still I have faith in both him and ultimately in the Church. I have known many Priests (majority of who were Jesuits) who are completely selfless and are more powerful than the average man simply because of their faith. They walk the talk and every facit of what they do is service to mankind. Goes with the motto "Man for Others" drilled into us during the four years of bootcamp known as Loyola Academy.
