Pope Francis is the sole reason my attachment to Roman Catholicism still hangs by the sliver of a thread. Unlike those whose "cold attachment to norms and laws" prevents them from seeing the Christian forest for the Catholic trees, he understands what Jesus meant when he said "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath." (Mark 2:27) Or, to put it another way, he does not put the emPHAsis on the wrong syLLAble. He gets it. He gets Jesus. Thank God for Pope Francis. He gives me hope for a better church, and by extension, a better world.
