[...] Se o papa mostrar que o Vaticano não é um cenário de Dan Brown já ajudava muito.

Francisco José Viegas in "Correio da Manhã"

[...] Se a tudo isto o novo Papa juntar mão firme no governo da Cúria e punição exemplar para crimes ou abusos (ser jesuíta é óptimo sinal), a expressão ‘temos Papa’ poderá ser usada com dupla propriedade.

João Pereira Coutinho in "Correio da Manhã"

Like most of the world, I don’t know much about Pope Francis, but it’s hard not to be impressed by someone who says he prefers a church that suffers “accidents on the streets” to a church that is sick because it self-referentially closes in on itself.
