What do you think about the new Pope?

 I think Pope Francis is a very holy and humble man. I agree with a lot of what he teaches, but he is often misrepresented by the media who take his words to mean something other than what they actually do (partly the Pope's fault in many cases). For example, when he said, "Who am I to judge," in reference to homosexuals, it was not a step towards permitting gay/lesbian marriage in the Church as the media portrayed it, but just showed his acceptance of homosexual people as opposed to homosexuality. He seems to be in line with previous Church teachings though, which I think is a good thing, and I like that he doesn't sit around in a palace on his rear all day, but gets out there with his people and leads by example. Overall I think he is a very good Pope and a good man, so I'm pretty happy that us Catholics have him as our leader.
