“One of the lines that nobody seems to be paying attention to was when he [Pope Francis] said I’m a loyal son of the church. He knows that the highest and most sacred responsibility is to pass on the timeless teaching of the church. What he’s saying is that we have to think of a more effective way to do it, because if the church comes off as a scold, it’s counterproductive. If the church comes off as a loving, embracing mother, who periodically has to correct her children, then we will be effective.”
