A glimpse at Pope Francis' mind

It has become commonplace to hear many Catholics saying that Pope Francis is "confusing" or "ambiguous." However, a well-disposed mind and heart will seek to comprehend his teachings. By learning the key aspects of Francis' thought, it becomes easier to better understand what he means.

For the past few years, there have been very few resources online directed at helping those who felt confused. In fact, many Catholic websites only added to this confusion.

In this series, we wish to help you recognize the principles behind Francis' theology, sift through the misinformation being spread about the Holy Father, and also provide convincing explanations for the most notable controversies surrounding his pontificate.

Come join us as we explore the richness underlying Francis' insights and living magisterium.
