It’s rather disconcerting to read Marie Dennis in “Calling of the Shepherd” (April 2013) asking the new pope to give heed to the demands of Catholics. I couldn’t help but read this as a very consumeristic, human-centered approach to Christian faith, as if we get to tell God (the Holy Father, at least) what to do.
