As a 'Traditional' Catholic, I'm Baffled by Pope's Critics

In March 2013, I watched on television as a man few of us had heard of asked us to do something for him. He asked for our prayers and bowed his head. In March 2020, this same man walked into an empty St. Peter's Square, flanked by an icon of Mary and the Cross of the Lord. In a world beset with troubles, isolation and sickness, he offered us his prayers.
