One year ago Thursday, a relatively obscure prelate from Argentina made his debut as the new leader of the world\u2019s oldest Christian church, stepping out onto the fabled balcony overlooking St. Peter\u2019s Square and joking that his brother cardinals had gone to \u201cthe end of the earth\u201d to find a pope.<\/p>\n

For an institution legendary for taking itself rather seriously, that flash of humor alone communicated that this wasn\u2019t going to be your grandfather\u2019s kind of pontiff.<\/p>\n

By taking the name Francis, the new pope awakened images of St. Francis, the beloved poor man of Assisi. He then knelt to ask the crowd to pray for him before imparting his official blessing, seemingly inaugurating a new era of papal humility. …<\/p>\n

… The Boston Globe spoke to a dozen cardinals<\/strong> from various parts of the world in late February and early March. Based on that unscientific sample, reaction seems a mix of satisfaction and astonishment. While some admit to elevated blood pressure levels, there appears to be little buyer\u2019s remorse \u2014 in part because having a popular pope simply makes their lives easier.<\/p>\n

Few cardinals anticipated the way in which the new pontiff would capture the imagination of the world, or how quickly he would do it.<\/p>\n

Asked if he would have predicted a year ago that the new pope would enjoy astronomic approval ratings and grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, vice president of the US bishops\u2019 conference, could scarcely have been more definitive. \u201cNo, no, and no,\u201d he told the Globe.<\/p>\n

Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York amplified the point. \u201cWe knew we were electing a man of the poor, and we knew we were electing a good manager,\u201d Dolan said. \u201cWe had no idea we were electing a rock star.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolan\u2019s experience is typical of many churchmen. He reports that when he does media interviews today, the questions generally aren\u2019t about pedophile priests, crackdowns on nuns, or bruising political fights inside the Vatican. Instead, they\u2019re largely adulatory inquiries about the new pontiff.<\/p>\n

Cardinals also say that politicians and diplomats are less inclined to be hostile to church interests, because no one wants to be on the wrong side of a popular pope, and that when they mingle at the grass roots, even outside the confines of the church, they generally find delight. ….<\/p>\n

…. Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto, admits that there have been times when the pope\u2019s almost casual rhetorical turns and his spirit of openness have created heartburn.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been things which are hard to explain,\u201d Collins said, referring specifically to one of the headlines from an October interview Francis granted to a left-wing Italian paper: \u201cGod is not a Catholic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Collins said, when he reads the full text of what Francis has said, as opposed to sound bites, he generally finds nothing to worry about. \u201cYou read the whole text and it\u2019s great,\u201d Collins said. \u201cYou may have to work a little harder to get the proper context, but it\u2019s always there.\u201d … <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
