That'sa One Crazy Pope-a!

Awesome- "The Holy Father told me at the beginning: 'You can sell your desk. You don't need it. You need to get out of the Vatican. Don't wait for people to come ringing. You need to go out and look for the poor'."

Michael Corleone tried to go legit too.

I don't understand your point. It can be true that he both accepted a head position in an organization with a history of corruption and impropriety and also that he aims to eliminate those problems in the future.

This is like saying no POTUS could ever be a reformer because he accepted the head position in a country that needs reforming.

To the first part, I don't disagree, I was just trying to express my frustration with the hypocritical finger-wagging.

To the second part, I do disagree. It may be due to a lack of knowledge/interest, but I don't recall everyday Catholics across the globe clamoring for change to this point of view. I'm certain they don't get to vote to elect the pope.

So like, all major organizations of historical importance?

Probably, what's your point otherwise?
