Pope Francis seems to be more of a Christian than most people who occupied his office in the past. Greater role for women in the church, not standing in judgment over gay people, saying you can be good without being a Christian: Francis is bringing in some long-overdue change in the Roman Catholic church.

Now, the pope says the church has been too obsessed with gays and abortion.

It is possible that this pope might actually bring the Roman Catholic church into the 21st century.

>>>> i liked this one. Many times, nurses know more than the doctors.

Nuns working in hospitals took care of Francis when he lost most of one lung to an infection in his early 20s.

_ "I am alive because of one of them. When I went through my lung disease at the hospital, the doctor gave me penicillin and streptomycin in certain doses. The sister who was on duty tripled my doses because she was daringly astute; she knew what to do because she was with ill people all day. The doctor, who really was a good one, lived in his laboratory; the sister lived on the frontier and was in dialogue with it every day."
