I feel the same as Pope Francis...........

Pope Francis on Wednesday said it's an "honor" to be criticized by Catholic conservatives in the United States. He made the comments while on a 10-and-a-half hour flight from Rome to Maputo, Mozambique, where he begins a week-long tour of three African nations.

But I'm not even sure what you are talking about with the term "conservative" when it comes to Catholics.  There is really no such thing.  There are orthodox Catholics, cafeteria Catholics and dissenting Catholics.  So when the Pope mentions conservative Catholics it simply indicates that he is a run of the mill Jesuit that falls into the category of cafeteria types that want to pick and choose which orthodox beliefs to adhere to.  They are all over the place causing confusion, uneasiness and unrest and have been for the last 50 years or so.  You see Goofy, Popes come and go.  Some are outstanding, some are so-so and some are downright awful.  But despite them, the Chruch marches on with its core teachings, none of which Pope Francis has altered and none he can alter without the approval of the Magesterium.
