I just watched the 60 Minutes episode featuring this documentary, and I was awestruck by the wisdom on display by Pope Francis as well as beauty of the very thoughtful way in which he offered his thoughts and opinions. I was raised Catholic but renounced any connection to them over ten years ago after slowly realizing that my own personal values bore almost no resemblance to their stated positions on topics ranging from marriage to objective morality to gender equality. I expected to be reminded of all those things and more when they started showing excerpts from it, and instead was delighted to hear not one thing I objected to.

I'm not so naïve as to think that the entire organization has made an about face and is pointed in the right direction, but it appears that the man in charge of it very well might be. If he were the priest at my local church, I don't know that I'd start attending again, but I'd definitely be sneaking in after the reading of the Gospel from time to time just to hear him speak. There was a goodness that radiated from his face and a light in his eyes that was impossible to ignore, and I can't wait to watch this documentary in its entirety.

Waiting for some documentary or something, about Francis before being Francisco. A serious one, not only focusing on his beginnings but his work as priest to Archbishop in Argentina. Jorge bergoglio, before being pope. Being from Argentina, it's very known, at least many things, real and totally overcast since his Pope. Besides his life as priest, his ties with government, (1983-and on,) not his sacrifice under dictatorship. His ties, while democracy and more than one president. GOOD, but also, not so good history. He was under trial. Corruption and money... Is so strong to watch him and forget all that, plus his own decision to not make a visit to his own country. Would cause a scandal, yes. Loved, cause is Pope. But isn't forgotten, more if he chooses to do so. He receives Presidents of all the world. He also receives ours, last may, on Fátima day, accompanied with IMF, a holiday there. Not for political reasons. This wouldn't not be a a first time a Pope isn't what it it's shown. But he's taken as the new blood of the church. As example. Yep he talks A LOT here. Words. See his papers. Most aren't written by him, are parts of the Bible isn't that too much? Seems not. Not different from others. Maybe, the last? Who knows. God
