Yes, and Leo is a pastor, not a cop. Do not expect mass excommunications. Any change will be slow and deliberate, not to mention well thought out.
It seems we read everything from the perspective of politics, and our favorite hot button issues, political or ecclesial.
Thank God for Leo, we’ve again been gifted with the Pope we need, for this moment.
My poor sister has already informed my very elderly mother that Pope Leo is the enemy and not to be trusted. She gave my mother that Taylor Marshall book years ago.
I wonder if it even occurs to the rabble rousers that they are gravely responsible for separating the sheep from the shepherd? Millstones come to mind.
