So, in essence, he's leading people to destruction because he isn't vociferously judgmental of other religions and he doesn't use religion as a bludgeon of hate, and that's why he's going to lead people to destruction?
Man, when can I go to your church service? Sounds about as welcoming as an auto-da-fe.

Interesting how discussions like this seem to always start with a innocent question the the parties involved rush madly to the extreme corners like a boxing match. The uninformed or those who fear the teachings of Christ rush here and there. The most conservative of believers huddle in their corner. Non believers hang around on the edges in the low light afraid to defend themselves or explain.
I think if you visit with Catholics who have given some thought to the new Pope and his approach you find its refreshing. He is a more simple man, a common man than the last pope. He is outgoing, friendly and willing to mix with people. And he does not hide from public behind the security of the Vatican. The one thing all Catholics that I have spoken to is that the Pope may change some things in approach but the teachings of the church will not change and there is no reason to believe they will. Its called a foundation. Churches are successful because they off people a foundation of scripture, teaching, belief, faith, hope and history. That is the foundation that our faith resides on. Be it Catholic, Methodist, or any denomination. The doors are always open to anyone who wants to learn then decide.

A parallel would be geopolitics. The USA shouldn't go out of its way to bother or disrupt other nations. Clearly. But when it's interests are at stake they must follow their interests. There are some regimes we cannot recognize, and cannot work with right?

Non-believer here and I would gladly explain to you why I think religion is just fantasy. I find that those who believe don't apply reason to their faith as they might in other aspects of their life.

That's very true. John Paul II looked like everyone's kindly old grandpa and everyone seemed to think he was the greatest guy ever. Then came Benedict looking like a corpse and he wasn't so popular.

I think this Pope will bring new people to the Church and that is a great thing.

All these religions should just be upfront and honest--if you don't believe what we think you should believe and do what we think you should do, you are going to hell/not going to heaven/(fill in terrible consequence). Despite (for example) Catholic references to 'our Jewish friends' the bottom line is that they believe they will fry for an eternity.

It must be a good feeling to be able to speak for so many. Religion is a study of the ages yet you are blessed with such wisdom. Many go to church regularly, read, attend bible study and Sunday school their entire life yet you have found answers so easily. I envy you.

FYI, the RCC is not going to change any of it's dogmas or doctrines just to be popular in the 21st century. IMO the media eats him up because he's selling a Progressive or at least Progressive-sounding message.

Pope Francis said Tuesday in his first apostolic exhortation that no matter how progressive-minded the world turns, the Catholic Church can never compromise on its “no abortion” rule — it’s a matter of human dignity.http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...essive-democr/
