meh, I am not impressed by the pope. If he wanted, he could to something, e.g. propagating the use of condoms in developing countries. But so far all he did were some propaganda stunts. Especially the "capitalism = bad" letter he published (written in the Vatican, surrounded by gold and amassed wealth) is not worth the paper he printed it on.
I have recently visited South Africa and I have seen the problems caused by non existent (or rather: not allowed by the church) family planning.
However, lots of people (mostly Catholics) just want see some change, and Franzicus is feeding their hopes. Not a hard job after Ratzinger (remember, he was head of the current-time inquisition), but as long as he doesn't tackle any of the real world problems that are within his reach, he is nothing more than a prop.
