Why even Catholics should be insisting that Pope Francis

[MineralMan]

44. The right direction with regard to what?

To marriage equality? No steps in that direction. To equality in the church for women? Nothing in that direction, either. In fact, he has affirmed past rules. To reproductive choice? I'm not seeing any movement in that direction, either.

You see, I only mentioned some issues in my original post. Those are the ones I'm talking about. If you want to talk about other issues, you need to name them so I don't have to guess what you're asking. If he's made progress in the areas I mentioned, then fill me in on that progress. I'm not seeing it.

Yes, I am insisting that the church act with regard to those things I mentioned. And yes, right now. If now now, when? All of those things are part of progressive thinking. All are important. Does the church work to help the poor, displaced, and needy? It does, and it has for a very long time. Does it ask that we treat our planet well? Yes. It has for a very long time. Those are biblical positions and are well-supported in the scripture the church claims to follow.

So, tell me what great movement this Pope has brought to the world. And then tell me why it still puts roadblocks in the way of the things I mentioned in my OP. I'm listening, and will respond.
