[Pope] Francis communicates the pastoral embrace of the Church, the breadth and inclusiveness of Catholicism symbolized by the Bernini colonnade around St. Peter's Square, in a powerful way.

The world needs a pastor, whether it knows it or not.

[Pope Francis] is 78 years old and knows that his will be a short pontificate.

The Guardian,[is] one of the most consistently anti-Catholic newspapers in the world.

Then [Catholics] owe [pope] the loyalty that is expressed in speaking the truth to him - and that puts a premium on knowing whether what you're happy about, on unhappy about, has a basis in fact, or is merely a reflection of the "narrative.

[Pope Francis]sees a world in need of the Gospel, and of friendship with Jesus Christ, as an antidote to the self-absorption and loneliness that are eating away at the solidarity of the human community.

The only future is intentional Catholicism, evangelical Catholicism.
