Too soon to tell if Pope Francis' effort are actually having an effect on Catholic culture.   

To put it another way,  Francis is clearly having an effect on how non-Catholics perceive the Church.   But I haven't seen any  signs that Francis has had even the slightest effect on changing the thinking of anyone in Catholic media.

When Francis became pope, I thought Catholic media pundits would follow his lead.   They haven't.   They have their own idea of what's proper Catholic culture, and they simply do not care about Francis' message.
