I also believe that we first need to see how his papacy will run instead of picking it and him apart before he is even in office for one full day. Conservative or not, we need to wait and see. We may just be pleasantly surprised.

People don't change THAT much. 78 year olds certainly don't change their convictions at the drop of a hat (thinking of my grandfather). Not to mention the outcry he would face from those who elected him if he did change his positions all of the sudden. From everything i've read, his positions have been VERY clear.
We have every right to discuss him and the impact he may have on the church and our lives.
