I'm not RC but this current Pope sounds like he's a different kettle of fish to any of the previous incumbents. He seems very down to earth. It puzzles me how often people refer to the RC church as if it is the only form of Christianity and then point out things to condemn about it such as the Spanish Inquisition. People have often done things in the name of Christianity which Christ himself would be appalled at - throwing the money changers out of the temple pales by comparison. Don't judge Christ by those who claim to bear his name.
