"It's very Jesuit: whatever it takes," Gilger said. "He's unafraid to use any tool he can to share the gospel. If it wasn't so sincere it'd be very manipulative."
Back to the clown Masses?
Francis' style is not without critics, most notably in his approach to worship.
When he first stepped out on the balcony to meet the world as pope, Francis wore a simple iron cross instead of one made from gold. The throne of St. Peter has literally been stripped of its jewels and the brocaded papal cape left with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. In its place: a simple white cassock.
"Benedict, in his relatively short papacy of eight years, worked very hard to bring back a lot of things that were identified with Catholicism. With the Vatican it was splendor, it was dignity," Kenneth Wolfe a writer for traditionalist Catholic publications such as Rorate Caeli.
"Francis is more of a … American Protestant," he said with a sigh. "Not in beliefs but in demeanor and approach to religion. Dressing as one of the people."
The pope's trip to Lampedusa was charitable, Wolfe said, but the Mass there summed up what Wolfe dislikes about Francis.
"The Mass was pretty much a joke. I mean to have an altar made out of a boat, a wooded chalice, a lectern that had a ship's steering wheel on it and altar girls?" he said. "It resembles the clown Masses of the 1960s. It's not a serious way to present liturgy."
After the Second Vatican Council, Latin was dropped from the Masses in favor of local languages, opening the door for a host of new hymns and practices, some of which traditionalists derisively refer to as "clown Masses."
And, as Wolfe notes, it also opened the door for Masses that featured actual clowns.
"I would be lying if I said I hadn't seen a little disgruntledness," Ashley McGuire, a senior fellow with the Catholic Association said about the response to Pope Francis.
But the distaste is limited and mostly concerns matters of liturgy, according to McGuire.
"The overwhelming response has been positive," she said.
The path forward
When he returns to the Vatican after World Youth Day, the new pope will finally have some down time, the Vatican said.
But Francis still has an ambitious to-do list – and no one expects the 76-year-old to slow down.
In fact, he's already pledged to reform everything from the Vatican bank to the Curia, the professional staff at the Vatican.
Monsignor Kevin Irwin, a theology professor at the Catholic University of America in Washington, offered some insight into why the pope has been so busy.
"The clock is ticking. He's got one lung. You'd better do it now."

5 ZOMBIE!!minidavies | 25/04/2013 | See all minidavies's reviews (2)I thought it was game. But thats just my opinion isnt it.
1 rubbish!madgaz | 22/03/2013 | See all madgaz's reviews (1)Got the game today! Basicly no story line not what youd expect, poor graphics and game play is so bad I can't put into words..! Totally rushed made game :/
4 Its Good!Cooper99 | 09/04/2013 | See all Cooper99's reviews (2)Honestly I really enjoyed the game, the gameplay isn't the best but i liked it. If you like a good challenge and are a big fan of the Dixon brothers (like i am) i really recommend this game.
3 I liked itFatman88 | 16/04/2013 | See all Fatman88's reviews (46)The graphics arent the best, the story isn't very good, the side levels repeat quite often, BUT it's a great stealth zombie game, there were a few moments I was genuinely like 'ahhh no, I don't want to have to use my pistol to get out of this' because it means more walkers.One for really taking your time, the crossbow is a delightfuly satisfying weapon.It's definitely NOT up to Walking Deads standards in the sense of story or characters (oh that reminds me, sending out survivors to find equipment and food is a huge waste of time, they find like 2 bullets and less food than it takes to heal them). So much so that whoever is in your group theres no point knowing who they are and if you kick one of them out of your car there is no more circumstance than if you'd dropped something from your inventory, it's pretty poor.BUT its a lot of fun, the levels are nice, zombies are cool and you can really get into some sneaky zombie smashing.It's fun, but then should the walking dead be fun? tell-tales game wasn't 'fun', but my life it was a GREAT game.
2 Pretty poor attemptPinner | 27/03/2013 | See all Pinner's reviews (2)The game is disappointing to say the least, a real shame this could have been brilliant but sadly misses the mark.The graphics are weak, they look like a bad ps2 port, the skin on the characters is matte without any real texture and the zombies just go rigid when killed rather than realistic movements.The game play is pretty bad also, zombies just jump you and you have no way of escaping apart from slashing each one it's just tedious.It looks like a poor arcade game...board after 15 minutes feel I have wasted my cash.Real shame I love the walking dead show but this is just a poor zombie slash with corporate sponsorship.My advice: don't bother dead island is a million times better.
