A commentator on CNN dubbed Pope Francis “the hope and change pope” earlier today:
“He hasn’t actually done much in the way of real policy changes of initiatives, and he certainly is the hope and change pope, but he’s at the head of a body, the Vatican, that’s very resistant to change,” said the CNN commentator. “I’ve read, for instance, that observers say that you don’t change the Vatican, the Vatican changes you.”
UPDATE: The man on TV has been identified as CNN senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman:
@danielhalper FYI, the “CNN commentator” you write about here http://t.co/6BSthUDDbZ is actually Senior Int’l Correspondent Ben Wedeman.
