  Commonalities between President Trump and Pope Francis are few and far between, but they do both have a tendency to go off-script, often with unfortunate results. That said, Francis' gaffes are usually well-intentioned while Trump's are, more often than not, mean-spirited. Trump is like the neighborhood bully. He can't build himself up without tearing somebody else down in the process.
  
  I don't want to return to the days when every word a pope uttered was vetted to death by the Curia, but I do think Francis could benefit from keeping a more disciplined tongue. I just calls 'em as I sees 'em.
