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

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

One of the most important qualities in a pope is his judgment of people - can he get around him the people who can put into practice his vision of what the Church must be doing now to fulfill its mandate from the Lord.

Younger theologians will continue to pursue and understand truth rather than deconstructing it, as a lot of their elders seemed to want to do.

[Pope Francis] has felt the mercy of God in his own life and wants to share that experience with others.

Freedom that lacks moral truth becomes its own worst enemy.

The colossal mess in Vatican finances that [Pope] Francis inherited has been cleaned up, and cleaned out. Real budgeting and accounting procedures are in place; so are real professionals, not somebody's nephew.
