(ThyBlackMan.com) Pope John Francis’ upcoming visit to the U.S. is generating quite a bit of excitement here, especially among his Catholic faithful. But for me and many others, his visit is generating consternation, not excitement.
Usually, most people tend to have great respect and affection for the Pope. He is usually viewed by the public as a beacon of moral guidance, even for those who are non-Catholics. This is definitely a view I once had of previous Popes. But I must admit that my respect for this current Pope, John Francis is somewhat diminished.
