>Another one I liked, local, was Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, I guess it's said officially. He was a man of the people. He kept the pomp and circumstance to a minimum. One of the details I liked was how he was with his mother. She had dementia and died in a nursing home. She always asked him what he was doing. Still working for the church, mom. He never told her he was a cardinal.

Agreed, Mike. Bernadin was a good one.
Another one is O'Malley in Boston.

On the other hand most of them just don't get it.
We got a new bishop recently in Trenton.
Trenton, like many former manufacturing cities, is ridden with decay, crime and poverty.
Rather than keep his residence in Trenton, where the diocesan residence has been since its inception, this guy bought a house in Princeton, saying that he felt better "entertaining guests" there.

I can't imagine Francis doing that.
