The piece below is from the Rorate Caeli blog, It is an extremely right wing blog with very unusual content. Until the arrival of Pope Francis it never hinted at any sort of criticism of the pope.The tone and the style of what's below is written in a language that was not possible on its blog up to now.
Someone was overheard saying in recent days that there was nothing different about this pope. Not true. It's all so different. A shopkeeper last week said that he now googles Pope Francis to see what he is saying. He was surprised at what he was doing but simply found himself interested in what the new pope was saying.

Casual Pope puts Vatican on alert with quips
Pope Francis has grabbed headlines with his off-the-cuff homilies, crowd-pleasing one-liners and lengthy interviews during which he has pontificated on everything from the church's "obsession" with rules to how he won't judge gays. But his chattiness has gotten him into some trouble, and the Vatican has gone into damage-control mode to clarify, correct or put his comments into context. Here's a look at some of Francis' more eyebrow-raising comments, and the efforts by the Vatican's spin doctors to address them.
DID FRANCIS REALLY CONSIDER TURNING DOWN THE JOB?
In an interview with the Rome daily La Repubblica, editor Eugenio Scalfari quoted the pope as saying he was "seized by a great anxiety" moments after his election and asked the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel to give him a few minutes time to think things over.
