At this point I just find Pope Francis amusing, clearly intentionally ambiguous (I wasn't so sure early on) for whatever purpose is unclear.  People are looking for a leader and all they get from this Pope is akin to what a psychiatrist asks of the patient on the couch: "And what did you think about that?"

His ambiguity is a good way to spur discussion, but as far as running a religion goes, it's pretty lousy.  To use the shepherd analogy, it's like saying, "Go this way, but go that way."  To which the sheep would say, "Thanks for nothing!"
