Related: About this forumA post about the Pope kissing a man with boils and some mean responses but some good ones as well.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3992025I certainly have my issues with the RCC church, I left it at 18 years old. I do however like this new Pope and have high hopes for him.
The healing being done is to his soul.

OP
I like him as well. Things move slowly in the RCC and people want change right away.

A man of the people, of the downtrodden, and willing to dispense with many of the bullshit formalities that have characterized the roman catholic church.
Though I did enjoy mass in Latin.

A healthy enterprise.

Can not say I am surprised.

I'm sure that man has suffered in body and soul, likely for many years.
I hope he gets lasting comfort from the touch of our dear pope Francis.
