I personally appreciate that Pope Francis doesn't use the authoritarian tactics of his predecessors.   It takes a lot of prayer and patience to bring about change in the Vatican environment,  and hopefully without splitting the Church apart.   Unfortunately, some individuals prefer to think in terms of "all good" or "all bad" instead of seeing progress on a continuum... sort of like the OT stories of the Hebrew people in the wilderness endlessly complaining to Moses,  and ultimately being stuck there for forty years.  They might have gotten to the promised land sooner if they had been grateful for the blessings they already had.   

In our drive-thru, I-want-it-now culture folks dislike delayed gratification.    I prefer to see the glass as half full rather than half empty,  and give thanks for that.   In my view things are moving in a progressive direction in spite of Vatican naysayers digging in their heels.
