"I liked the energy Pope Francis brought to young people, just disliked his open politics and more liberal view of the gospel. He did a lot of good outwardly and for the reputation of the church to general public. It is exciting to be in a new era though. The only thing I didn't like is he didn't speak in English during the inauguration. Would have been a neat thing to see with him being the first American Pope."

"Catholic Doctrine is essentially this: Nations have a moral duty to regulate immigration for the sake of order and security, but they must also treat migrants justly and humanely, especially those fleeing real danger. To the new Pope I’d say: We are one of the most charitable nations in the world, but the President has a duty to enforce laws. We have treated removal humanely and illegal immigrants not following our laws does far more harm than good."

"The Pope isn’t some figurehead to be cheered or attacked based on party lines. He’s the Vicar of Christ, not a political operative. Reducing him to a cheap politician misses the entire point of his role and calling."

"You will probably see the same stuff as Francis, even if it’s only the media lying about what he’s actually saying."

"Most core teachings have been preserved and descended from Christ himself, so to say there's liberals and conservatives is a gross overstatement."

"I don’t think he’s going to make classical liberals very happy. I could be wrong."

"I don't see him being any sort of a game changer and just maintain the status quo."
