Axios -  In a rare interview, with Norah O'Donnell on "60 Minutes," Pope Francis denounced conservative American bishops — and called efforts by Texas to shut down a Catholic charity that offers migrants humanitarian aid "madness." It's the first time Francis spoke at length with an English-language American broadcast network.  The progressive pontiff has become a frequent target of conservative Catholic clergy based in the U.S. The pope said a conservative, in that context, is "one who clings to something and does not want to see beyond that."He added: "It is a suicidal attitude. Because one thing is to take tradition into account, to consider situations from the past. But quite another is to be closed up inside a dogmatic box." Transcript.
