I caught a typo...the sentence 'To the vast majority, Pope Francis is the compassionate face of Catholicism today' should read 'To the vast majority OF NCR STAFF, Pope Francis is the compassionate face of Catholicism today.'

As for flexing his muscle in Nigeria...why on earth is the Bishop of Rome appointing bishops in other dioceses?  The pope isn't th CEO of the church.   That's the Spirit of Vatican One.
