Kim Davis And The Trap For Pope Francis | Massimo Faggioli
The meeting between Pope Francis and Kim Davis threatens to overshadow the success of the pope’s visit to the United States. The response to the visit says a lot about the climate created in the United States around the pope’s visit and the inability for some in the church to acknowledge and receive Pope Francis.

Pope Francis’s US tour has been a triumph. His conservative critics must be in despair – Spectator Blogs
Francis was eloquent, relaxed and amazingly youthful for a man heading for 80. He tilted in a liberal direction, but not far enough to create anxiety among most churchgoing Catholics anywhere in the world.
Maybe they should be feeling anxiety. Pope Francis seems to favour changes to pastoral practice – adove all, letting divorced and remarried people receive Communion – that could split the Church. Or, more likely, slowly Anglicanise it, so that rules are bendable in some countries but not in others, making the Catholic Church less catholic.

Pope Francis: Families are ‘factories of hope’ but need economic support – Religion News Service
“Families have difficulties,” the Argentine pope continued, speaking in Spanish that was simultaneously translated by an aide. “In families, we quarrel. Sometimes plates can fly. Children bring headaches.”And, he added, playfully, “I won’t speak about mother-in-laws.”But, he said, “the most beautiful thing God made, says the Bible, was the family.”“Forgive the phrase,” he said, “but a family is like a factory of hope, a factory of resurrection.”God created the family, he said, and God was born into a family when Jesus was born to Mary.
