Here’s a surprise. In a poll of Boston-area Catholics, the Boston Globe finds that people who identify themselves as Catholic but don’t believe the fundamental teachings of the Church want a new archbishop who is “open to change.” Sure, the poll says most Boston Catholics like their pastors and the Pope, but then only the hardest of dissenters can’t see the Pope’s personal holiness. And since most pastors are nice guys who don’t your conscience to greatly on any given Sunday, what’s not to like about them.
