Pope asks priest and nuns to drive humble cars..

[DarrylS]

At least he is trying.. we will see the blowback.

Last week he went to an island in the Mediterranean, Lampedusa to mourn refugees who died trying to get to Europe..

Francis used the visit to criticize what he called "global indifference" to the refugee crisis, saying: "Today no one in the world feels responsible for this; we have lost the sense of fraternal responsibility; we have fallen into the hypocritical attitude of the priest and of the servant of the altar that Jesus speaks about in the parable of the Good Samaritan," he said.
"We look upon the brother half dead by the roadside, perhaps we think 'poor guy,' and we continue on our way, it's none of our business; and we feel fine with this.

This week it is about the cars leaders of the church drive..

As part of his drive to make the Catholic Church more austere and focus on the poor, Francis told young and trainee priests and nuns from around the world that having the latest smartphone or fashion accessory was not the route to happiness.

"It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can't do this," he said.

"A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world," he said.

Seems like a show for the public.

Seems the new Pope is as hypocritical as the old as he sits on his billions.

Maybe they're PR moves but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he's trying to issue reform.

If he wanted to show real reform he would turn over all the pedophiles that the church is protecting as we speak.

A good clean Pope would not tolerate a dirty house while complaining about the size of the car in the driveway.

Your venom is wasted on me since I left the Catholic Church for many reasons including the pedolphiles. I'm just saying maybe he start the process of cleaning stuff up.

Pope Expands Sex Abuse Laws in Response to U.N. Criticisms - The Daily Beast

The Holy See was given until January to submit a detailed report to the United Nations answering very specific questions and providing confidential records and documentation about how and why Catholic diocese moved predatory priests between dioceses like chess pieces. And on Thursday, Pope Francis issued a “motu proprio” extending the scope of the Vatican City legal system to bolster criminal legislation against child sex abuse, possession of child pornography and child prostitution on Vatican grounds by Vatican staff, seen as a shot across the bow to those in the Holy See who have harbored secrets of the sex abuse scandal. The extended scope of the legal system should pave the way to greater transparency and even prosecution of those who may have been the great enablers of the Church’s worst sinners.

Writing laws is cheep. Especially to the church.

We will see if they can live them.

Only a huge number of arrests will show that they are living by the spirit of the law.
