. >> mary ann, what about conservative catholics. do you see blow-back potential from these comments? >> well, i think conservatives will find meaning in the pope not changing teachings of the church, but he takes them on directly. you know, he says there are those who have criticized him for not talking enough about issues like abortion and homosexuality, and things like that. he repeated his message. the church needs to be a place of welcome, a place of ministry and pastoral concerns need to be what driving us. >> is the pope laying groundwork for something perhaps a policy change down the road? >> there is definitely a change of tone already, hopefully that will trickle down. but i also see in the beginning of the interview where the poem talks about discernment and laying a foundation for change, that he is at least open to considering what the needs of the people of god are in 2013 and beyond. and they may be different from what was needed 30, 40, 100 years ago. so i think we have to wait and see. but he does talk about a proces
