Thank you for publishing this article. You’ll no doubt face criticism for it, but like I said on our YouTube channel w/ Jonathon, I don’t ignore the problems—but Pope Francis’ focus on mercy & forgiveness is something we can definitely praise him for during his pontificate. The year of Mercy with a focus of a renewal on the sacrament of confession & his book the “Name of God is Mercy” was the highlights for me.
Thanks Phillip! I know many of his public comments and decisions felt ambiguous and confusing. But I don't like seeing people attacking the Holy Father. I enjoyed his book "Life" (2024), which a friend got me last Christmas. I intend on reading his encyclical, "Dilexit nos," in full - something I've yet to do. Then again, there are dozens of encyclicals from past popes I need to catch up on!
