Pope Francis is shaking up the staid Catholic Church "not just by calls to worship Chirst, but to imitate him"



Read Andrew Sullivan's piece "The Radical Christianity of Francis.  Here is an excerpt:

Deeds over words; love over law. In the end, the way a human being acts is what his or her religion is. And a spiritual leader can say so much more without words, because he is describing something beyond human understanding. In the washing of a young woman’s feet – from another universe of doctrine – you are witnessing the surrender of law to love. You are witnessing Jesus’ constant resurrection in our world – every day, somewhere, in someone, opening up to the sun, like flowers in springtime.
