Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth
This seems to be the reaction of some to Pope Francis' words, even words of great kindness and support for the disadvantaged. Even "home truths" spoken to the Church hierarchy living a comfortable life. The more magnanimous the words, the louder the wailing.
Why is this? To me, this kind of reaction is often based on fear. If that were the case, fear of what?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
