Thank you @mfjlewis. This article describes a very sad state of affairs. I remember when I realized that my enthusiasm for Pope Francis was not shared by all Catholics.

This was a very difficult piece to write. But my experience is not unique, and the divisions caused by the war against Pope Francis are real, and personal. americamagazine.org/faith/20…

I was a guest on a Catholic radio show to talk about Dorothy Day, whom the host evidently admired. But when I expressed my feeling that DD would have loved Pope Francis the mood suddenly changed. “But what about the ‘dubia’??!” It was clear that I had crossed a line. 4 yrs ago.

Popes are teachers. Maybe B16’s resignation was a sacrificial act of teaching. Maybe he was trying to say something that we are too self-aggrandizing to comprehend.

A note of interest: cultural philosopher Jean Gebser and Pope Francis share something in common -- both were very influenced by the same German Jesuit philosopher named Romano Guardini. An odd but seemingly significant connection (particularly for students of Gebser).
