  Francis seems not true to himself, suppressing his abilities. Unlike at least the three previous popes, Francis has added little in four years. What will be his legacy?
  
  His most important contribution, other than speaking out on global warming, was to elevate the Magdalene feast day, which may ultimately help revitalize the "Bride" as a real heavenly person -- a retrograde theology predating Christianity. Christianity suppressed the Bride by making her into a prostitute, and by saying the "Church" was instead the Bride. I guess there is no reason not to go back to earlier Pagan motifs as long as the incest has been purged from belief. Christmas and Easter are still popular. So why not? One feast for the Mother. One feast for the Bride. Two women now. Plus a new non-sexual "father-god" distinct from the Bridegroom son - a crowd. And probably a lot of support for new 'old ways' in European hamlets. 2,000 year-old mission accomplished
