Pope Francis was in Sri Lanka recently
where he met senior Buddhist monks and other religious leaders. Gone was the usual
protocol that elevate a pope above other religious leaders when meeting them, as
was the just slightly imperious attitude. Pope Francis was informal,
respectful, genuinely friendly and made everyone feel that they were all
meeting as equals. In return the monks gave the Pope a warm welcome. It looks
like this pope is going to give the Church an appeal
even to those not in it.
