From climate change to Cuba, 2014 was another big year for Pope Francis. James Martin, SJ, a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, and author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage (HarperOne, 2014), discusses whether anything the pontiff said or did this year will change the world, or the Catholic Church.
No doctrine has changed, but "words matter, tone matters...words effect change" says @JamesMartinSJ on the Pope's words this year.
