RESISTANCE TO POPE FRANCIS

Professor Andrea Riccardi, a historian and the founder of the Catholic community, Sant Egrlio with 70,000 members world wide and a former minister in the Italian Government warned last month that ‘resistance’ to the Pope could be found above all among clerics. “All this resistance is a sign that the Pope is changing the Church.” He also said that no pope this century has run into so much opposition form within the Church as Pope Francis. “He has told us everything he is thinking, the things that must be done and changed…. The resistance is coming from those that don’t want to change.”
