(10,201 posts)I let you know. Now, you seem to have a list of specific demands.
You want a 2000 year old system to change overnight. It's like whining that George Washington did nothing to when it came to women's suffrage. You are blinding yourself intentionally to the changes he is making because they are not the two exact changes you want him to make.
Look, I get it. The Catholic Church has some messed up policies, and those policies need to change. But FFS the guy has been in office for less than 8 months, and you want him to turn the church upside down overnight. This could tear his church apart. Look at something as simple as healthcare in this country. How many filibusters, infighting, budget deadlocks have we had over 1 little policy change in this country? What would a policy change like that do to a world wide organization?
But there is no doubt that this is the most progressive pope to have ever held the office.
