Lumen, I agree that far too many respond to the headline and not the article. I would say that the problem is that we liberals tend to want what Francis says to be more then what he is saying and conservatives tend to want it to be less than what he is saying. 

Yes, he is not changing teachings, but nonetheless, I believe, he is ushering in change that I think is quite significant. I don't think that should be overlooked. I wish those who remind us that Francis is not changing a teaching of The Church would be more willing to acknowledge the change he is talking about; to discuss it and embrace it. What discourages me is that I don't see that happening very often. Instead most comments seem to both begin and end with the statement that Francis is not changing a teaching of The Church.
