You haven't been following Pope Francis then. He has an unbelievable humility, forgives all trespasses, prays for everyone in the world (constantly asked for prayers as well saying "he needs them"), embraces all people as brothers and sisters and keeps all of the church doctrines in place. Not once has he changed a doctrine only given special permission to make it easier for people to obtain forgiveness.
He wants a poor church for the poor and holds himself accountable to that standard. I thank God for Pope Francis.
None of that means he takes anything in the bible literally. I wasn't saying pope francis is a bad person. Pope francis believes in evolution, the scientific method, and has an extremely liberal morality that contradicts the bible.
And praying doesn't mean he thinks praying is effective. He does that because of cultural reasons. Have you noticed how he doesn't go around saying people have their cancer cured by prayers?
