While Pope Francis' critics keep sniping at him like mockingbirds on a cat, the rest of the world sees in the pope the fullest embodiment of the person of Jesus from a Roman pontiff in their lifetimes. In the grand scheme of things they are of little consequence, and they will drive both themselves and their retrograde agendas into obscurity and ultimately, irrelevance with their petty back-biting. While they are consumed with their naval-gazing obsession of doctrinal correctness the work of the church goes on: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless, reaching out to the margins of society, comforting the afflicted. If the comfortable don't like being afflicted by Pope Francis, too bad. In the final analysis there are very few who care.
