text: I went to convent schools in the forties & later to a convent teachers's college. I felt suffocated in those institutions where very little love & understanding existed. Needless to say, I long ago turned my back on the Catholic church.
  Francis is a decent, kind man.He might lean toward progressivism but the die-hard doctrines of no birth control & no women priests ( just 2 examples), will remain, & Francis will not fight for such changes. The church will never move itself forward into the twenty first century. Not a chance!
