text: I disagree with those who post that Pope Francis is, indeed, being seduced by power.
  
  I would say that, if he is being seduced by anything, it is his vision of what the church might be. In my Protestant, justice-seeking Christian opinion, his vision is a faithful one, though, to many establishment-oriented "Vaticanites," it is risky and unpopular.
  
  Wisely, courageously, he is using the power available to him to lead the church in a path toward that vision.
