Being a member of the “I don’t know club” means you will be attacked by both sides. It does not mean you have nothing to say.

U.S. Catholics are more polarized than ever in how they view Pope Francis, even though majorities on both ends of the political spectrum have a positive view of the pope, according to a new survey.

The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis will visit Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore from Sept. 2 to 13.

In a recent interview book, Pope Francis said Archbishop Gänswein “at times made difficulties for me.” Now the former private secretary to Pope Benedict XVI will be made a nuncio in an as-yet-unnamed country.

In 2006, Pope Benedict XVI dropped “Patriarch of the West” from his official titles. Vatican officials at the time said the title was removed because it was theologically imprecise and historically obsolete.

In a speech at his weekly general audience, Francis said that “fortitude is a fundamental virtue because it takes the challenge of evil in the world seriously.”
