On it's face, I understand and applaud the intent of the Pope. But, the Catholic church is world renowned for bullying for centuries. Ruling, through fear and intolerance is the main method of control. I don't blame the faithful nor do I paint all clergy with the same brush. I do believe those that teach faith through kindness, love of one another, tolerance and acceptance are the best possible methods to convey your message but it would be counter productive to control.
