[Magdalen] Happy Saint Benedict's Day

[Scott Knitter]

Always interesting to read comments from conservative RC circles who
used to flutter their eyelashes and swoon at the mere thought of Pope
Benedict...always called "The Holy Father," who now speak rudely and
contrarily about everything Pope Francis says. Sometimes I chime in to
say, "Is Pope Francis not The Holy Father, and is not what he says
also to be learned and obeyed as before with Pope Benedict?"
Apparently the popes have to earn the trust of that crowd.
