Summary:
No, they don’t walk into a bar, but Pope Francis is back in
the news by way of a New Year’s Day piece by Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne. A committed Catholic, Dionne
is attracted to Francis’ willingness to question matters of faith and doctrine.
But I write that a more effective effort to achieve a connection to the divine
goes far beyond questioning, and some of my recent reading has led me beyond
Francis to Lord Krishna.
