I have put a link up to an article written by John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter who has been in Argentina recently learning about our new pope’s history there, how the people and the Argentinian church have viewed him, and his relationship with the civil government. Allen has some interesting ideas about what Papa Bergoglio may pursue in his papacy. He suggests the Holy Father is a bridge between those who wish to feed the body of the poor and those who want to feed the soul (my words, not Allen’s).
