A Big Heart Open to God - the Pope in 2013

In my opinion, the Pope is doing and saying "all" the right things!

A long interview posted today - and a few great quotes include:

"The church has sometimes locked itself up in small things," the pope said, "in small-minded rules." 

"The people of God want pastors," Francis continued, "not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials." 

"But the ‘concrete’ God, so to speak, is today. For this reason, complaining never helps us find God." 
A full read of the entire interview is a must for thoughtful people - and certainly for Christian persons both Protestant & Catholic.
