It's one thing for example, if people are flocking to a person because of their holiness (see Cure d'Ars, Padre Pio)...it's another thing when all the known enemies of the Church are praising you....The former is good, the latter not so much, and I'm afraid in the case of Pope Francis, the latter is probably more true. <br /><br />But i'm definitely with you, both introverts and extroverts have their places in the Church, and both should be appreciated and respected.

This just hits the mark, especially that mention of St. Therese being a cloistered contemplative, yet has been declared Patron Saint of the Missions, along with St. Francis X.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003965922434128196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-30521914130676895212015-03-13T12:53:08.056-04:002015-03-13T12:53:08.056-04:00This is very well written.

God is the creator of us all.<br /><br />Strangely, Pope Francis was not characterized as an extrovert before he became pope. While he showed little confidence in the evangelical value of doctrine or liturgy, his personal tone in crowds was famously subdued. <br /><br />As for his statements and behavior now, I wonder if he is equating the world's admiration for him with admiration for Christ. Does the popularity of a priest, bishop or pope necessarily mean that he is doing a good job for Christ? Rood Screenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816036539243214384noreply@blogger.com
