Time will tell.

I like Chris Matthews. But he can go way overboard about all the wrong people. There was a time when he was kvelling about how vibrant, exciting, dynamic and important Sarah Palin was. Right now he's all atwitter about the new pope. He proclaims Pope Francis a man of the people, a humble servant of god, a great symbol for the Catholic Church. Of course he doesn't mention that hes anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion, anti-birth control and anti many other things that many Catholics are for. He doesn't mention that there are serious questions about the new pope's past during Argentina's military dictatorship. I suspect this pope will not enjoy this kind of adoration for long. But for now Chris is burbling, giggling, gleeful and goofy.

Note: On the ABC news tonight they showed the slum where Francis walked before he was a pope, where he wore out his shoes. So now that he's pope, will he release some of the Vatican's billions to give the people of this slum something more than a blessing?
