Pope Francis and the Soul of the Church During a recent summit of Roman Catholic leaders, one conservative bishop accused liberal colleagues of "doing the devil's work." It was all about Pope Francis and his "outreach" to people the Church has scorned: those who divorce and re-marry as well as gays and lesbians. After the "Synod," the angriest public infighting since the 1960's, 270 cardinals and bishops produced a "consensus" that observers call a conservative, victory. But Francis will have the last word. Is he a liberal reformer? Has he created expectations he can't fulfill? 1.2 billion Catholics are waiting for answers.
