Vox Card Reaction: The Pope

I chose to read about the Pope, especially given that we just watched Spotlight in class on Thursday.

With this in mind, I went straight to the section about the allegations towards priests and the Pope’s reaction and handling of them. The post is organized well overall and is easy to navigate, and finding this section was not difficult as well.

What I found most interesting was the notion that this current Pope is the first one to publicly acknowledge the possibility of imposing what they refer to as “sanctions” on the guilty priests and bishops. Time named him their Person of the Year in 2013 and they referred to Pope Francis as the “People’s Pope.”

I had a general awareness of the Pope and his responsibilities, and reading these cards was a good way to go further in depth on something I didn’t know too much about and wasn’t that familiar with in a way that was easy to follow and understand.
