When I heard that the new pope had a degree in Philosophy, my first thought was he has the equivalent of a Liberal Arts degree! He is humble and lives his life that way….

But after reading this….well, the bit of hope that a new light was coming over the horizon was short-lived…

The article states that the church was publicly endorsing the dictatorship while Bergoglio was helping the victims behind the scenes.  It says he never mentioned this before because of humility.

Well, I think there is a difference between humility and cowardice.  Being a leader requires one to speak out to one’s heart…and if Bergoglio was against the dictatorship, he should have said so.  People were being murdered.

I’m thinking about the Underground Railroad…and how folks there had to go about things in a secret manner, but they weren’t leaders of a church…so I’m having difficulty understanding the thinking that one should support such a government in public?

And the “War on God” thing?  Yeah, that sounds extreme…small glimmer of hope fading fast…
