    Not Super-Judgy

    We all have a vision of a preacher lecturing down upon the masses from the pulpit.  The Catholic Church has made known their position on many social issues, from homosexuality, to abortion.  Where the church stands is no mystery. But how refreshing is it for a Pope to say that it is not his place to judge.  He has been commended for not taking that bait when asked where he stands. He has also been touted for saying that the Catholic Church has concentrated on the negative issues for far too long.

    He's Down To Earth

    Simple transportation and closeness to the people.   That's how he rolls. After an assassination attempt on John Paul the II, the pope-mobile was reinforced with bullet proof windshields.  He prefers not to be constricted and feels that it removes him from 'the people'. He's also commented that at his age 'he doesn't have much to lose.'
