It seems to me that the important thing is that he's getting it out there into the air where people can hear it.

It reminds me of what used to happen in the parish. I'd propose some idea or project, and there'd be a complete lack of interest or even opposition. And then, sometimes weeks or months later, someone else would propose the same thing--and folks would back it--and it would happen.  The seed had been planted, even though the time wasn't quite right.
It was the times when I was too impatience and forged ahead that things went bad.
I like to think that's what's happening here with Francis.
