Pope Francis slams culture of ‘perfect’ people shunning the disabled

19. I assume you mean the reactions on this thread?

I think people get upset and worked up and then they will vent their spleen, so to speak. But I don't think it means much: "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". That perfectly describes our elections, most of the time, at least "not signifying much".

I do it myself and then I have to walk away for a while.

I think the Pope is trying to reform the organization he represents from within, and I applaud him for trying. And he seems to be a brave and nice guy. Not a self-important prick. So I'm not Catholic or religious, but I don't have a problem with the Pope, and I don't have a problem with Catholicism as such, any more than Islam, it's the politics that sucks, not the religion.

I think people who have been harmed by the Church or its minions are naturally annoyed and have a beef with it, and will say so, and that's OK too, they have a right to speak, the Church does have issues.
