Francis made incremental changes for the better, but hardly addressed all that is needed. Still, not a regressive conservative Pope, so I think we should be grateful for that. At least there will not be likely BACKWARDS momentum and some chance of progressive change.

But, boy were there some awful possibilities among the supposed frontrunners. Whew...
