ryoder 1,590 #2 December 24, 2014 As part of that list, Francis complained of division and “poor coordination,” the “pathology of power,” and the temptation of “narcissism” and also the risk of becoming nothing more than “bureaucratic machines.” He warned aides against being sealed off in “closed circles,” in which membership in a camp or movement is more important than belonging to the whole Church. He also criticized a “Messiah complex” and the illusion of being “indispensable.” If he makes a run for POTUS in 2016, I might vote for him!"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
