No, I'm one of those Catholics who considers himself a sinner in desperate need of mercy, repentance and reform.  Francis and his liberal friends, on the other hand, have evidently evolved beyond the repentance and reform part of the equation.  So really, which side holds itself to be morally superior -- the one that acknowledges the reality of sin or the one that does not?  As for "sadness, not disdain," uh, have you ever read or listened to one of the man's regular tirades against those who disagree with him?
