Poor Betty.  Her comments here are representative of most all of her  statements on NCR, and especially regarding Pope Francis.  She obviously misses +Benedict XVI and the sort of church he represents.  BTW - regarding her other comment below, I must say I have never heard of the pope emeritus giving "hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity and held dinners for and with the poor."  I knew that +Benedict held two or three LUNCHES with the poor (at which time he did not eat with them) but that is the extent of it.  He did not, as Pope Francis has, done -
-Open showers for the homeless in St. Peter's Square
-eat FREQUENT lunches and dinners with them
-wash the feet of those in prison on Holy Thursday - or women
-have meals made available to the migrant people of Rome (I know because I am serving them)
-have a men's shelter opened in an empty Jesuit residence (I work in it)
Should I go on?  Betty needs a Lenten reflection in Charity.  I will pray for that in St. Peter's this week.
