text: Evidently Francis has a different read on hope: "Christians always have hope, no matter how bleak, bad or uncertain the journey, because they know God is always by their side, Pope Francis said."
  Bishop Libasci of NH came out against immigrants having "false hope." He never parsed what he mean but it was a way of refusing any attempt for an RC parish to become a sanctuary church.
  Paul's "Hoping against hope" evidently is false but the poor, illiterate, downtrodden have had this pummeled into them & when they cling desperately for their life to it the bishop pompously pontificate it is "false hope."  Francis did nothing to reprimand him.  Holy Mother speaks out of both sides of her mouth.
