* I'm very hopeful that radical changes (which the church is badly in need of) will happen to the catholic church. I'm not a catholic but I am reminded that those who are for Jesus are my co-workers in the harvest field. And since I live in a predominantly Catholic country, the changes in Vatican will be felt in here.
I am also hopeful because the New Pope (Pope Francis I) seems to have the heart for the poor (since he serves in Brazil), and lives a modest life, which is so uncommon for Archbishops. And this is good news. Sabi nga ng best friend ko "The divides between Christian denominations matter less and less when we are all united with the poor."
I may not be a catholic, but I will include the new Pope in my prayers. As the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, he has much work to do and he will be under scrutiny. I pray that God will be his only source of wisdom and strength. I pray that indeed he will reflect Christ in his whole being--through his actions and words and decisions.
