With no disrespect intended to you I suggest that your reliance on your feelings (all I am feeling from Francis is that he's trying to lead with his heart) is what has been one of the problems with the faithful.  I would suggest that you rely on what concrete actions Francis has taken.
Francis says all the right and beautiful things that make many feel like they trust and believe him.  These people seem to be blinded by those words and miss reality.  Francis says beautiful words on a subject and most times his deeds are the opposite and ugly.  He promised to punish bishops, not one in 4 years has been punished.  However he has done the ugly opposite and promoted several complicit bishops, rewarded others and even elevated 2 to his prestigious council of cardinals.

After all of the pain caused by the coverup and the abuse of children. If Catholics have not learned that church leaders words are meaningless unless they are validated by their deeds, we have gotten nowhere.
