4a1a2 Talking to the same God, two popes still can disagree

Trevor Noah pointed out (when? in a Daily Show sketch or in conversation with Stephen Colbert?) that it’s interesting how the then two living popes (Benedict XVI and Francis) didn’t agree on the topic of married pastors converting to Catholicism becoming priests. Benedict said they shouldn’t, Francis said they should be able to, while, Trevor says, “talking to the same guy”.

This is an excellent example in my eyes that God, if exists, isn’t busy micromanaging our lives.
