Yes, Terry Gross, don't know where Terry Chase came from. Thanks for that correction.

I just shoveled last nights 9" snowfall while listening to the latest installment of On The Media. It has coverage approaching the Pope's first year that comes from a completely different direction. The case is made that Francis is implementing Vatican Two and why he is able to do so now. Worth a listen.

An obvious move would be to add someone serious from outside the church - hopefully that's part of the plan.

Terri Gross...yes, that's

I have so far only skimmed the first few pages but will read it later. I was checking to see if it covered the same ground as Carroll's interview yesterday with Terry Chase on Fresh Air. It does but I am confident that it will be worth reading anyway.

This artice and his interview are not straight reporting in the sense of just laying out the facts as they have revealed themselves so far and leaving judgment up to us, although ultimately we do get to judge and everybody does. Carroll has his bias as formed by his life and acquired beliefs and they are quite apparent, and deliberately so. I do not say that as a negative critique. I like the new Pope too and I am glad that what I find out about his Papacy, as opposed to allegations about his earlier years when he was allegedly compliant with Fascism, reinforces that feeling.

Audio broadcasts have the benefit for me that I can download them and listen while doing chores or during a commute. I often feel I get some added sense by hearing an expression of thought rather than only reading it. Carroll speaks very well and it was a very interesting interview. Having no video would mean that bandwidth is probably not stressed. Of coarse the downside of commenting on audible commentary is the added difficulty of going back and double checking and not being able to copy and paste quotes if I want to use them as part of my own commentary. Thanks for posting the article.

Thanks for saying it, as I was thinking that some out there might like to read a detailed summary rather than relying upon what random news items they saw.
