"For example, mercy — mercy means putting the core of the Gospel inside the heart of the church. Not rules, not problems, not norms. The center of the church is the mercy of God." 

Therein lies the heart of this pontificate ... a pontificate not of black and white but of grey. A ponticicate that will be remembered for its two pillars ... the pillars of discernment and of mercy. Deo Gratias!
