Pope showed no compassion.

So we now have a new Pope, pictured. Many people must have listened carefully to his initial address and what a disappointment.

It appeared to hold no compassion compassion,
n a profound awareness of another's suffering coupled with a desire to alleviate that suffering.
: no compassion for the poor; for families to limit their size by contraception contraception: see birth control.
contraception

Birth control by prevention of conception or impregnation. The most common method is sterilization. The most effective temporary methods are nearly 99% effective if used consistently and correctly.
; no compassion for same sex partnerships and no compassion for animals.

A new Pope could have meant new beginnings, understanding and a positive way forward, without lowering morals. Apparently not. What a waste.

Same as the General Election: the same old things over and over.

We must open both our hearts and our minds to move forward positively. It could be so easy.
