MGB:_Having done on camera interviews, I can testify how hard it is to be comfortable looking at the camera (unless it’s with a teleprompter). That Francis is natural at it shows he either has great tech or can visualize who he is really speaking to as a priest. When he washes the feet on Holy Thursday, it is no longer a sick farce.
He and Benedict upset the culture of the Vatican, including its dysfunctional teaching on sexuality. Benedict opposed birth control, not to affirm the goal-centered sexuality of the Neo-Platonists but to affirm the rights of people in developing countries to have fertility as part of their economic solution and to insist that the economy accommodate them, rather then they sacrifice child-bearing to international planner agendas.
Both Popes do not believe that it is the job of the Church to do our thinking for us. That we are up to the task of both thinking and belief ourselves. They are not Anachronists that want all of thinking to have been done by tradition, so we only need comply.
