In this month's edition of the National
Geographic Magazine, there is a front page picture with the headline
"Pope Francis remakes the Vatican". However, on the inside there is a
more subtle headline across two pages, which accords with my own point
of view. It reads "Will the Pope change the Vatican, or will the Vatican
change the Pope?"
This cuts to the heart of the current debate about the remarkable
Pope Francis, who made headlines by being the first Latin-American, and
the first Jesuit, to become Pontiff, and the first to adopt the name of
St Francis.http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/columnists/alf-mccreary/why-pope-francis-has-work-cut-out-in-changing-church-31419013.html
