#2 Pope Francis cautions against hateful generalizations about Islam, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence

#3 Francis is not even close to being as intellectual, direct, or realistic as either of his predecessors. Benedict was truly a scholar. And JP II was very direct about capitalism versus communism, etc. but despite all that, Francis has still been very orthodox - he just tends to speak too carelessly and imprecisely which allows broad misinterpretations.
