Giving credit when it is due: Pope Francis calls out his church for hypocrisy


"Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one's life. Preaching with your life, with your witness. Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the Church's credibility." 

--Pope Francis, at Sunday's Mass in Rome.

No rose-colored glasses here. I am sure the pope still believes that homosexual behavior is a sin.  And he continues to reaffirm the crackdown on U.S. nuns, which is wrong. But I give him credit for calling out his fellow priests in the church.
