The Pope and all our political agendas
One big reason I love the pope is everyone following the Pope in the media and in Christian circles chatters about WHAT the Pope does and “what does this mean?” We all look for the right buzzwords so we can either deride his comments or praise his comments. That’s why I love this comic strip:

Where is the outcry
I understand the world, the media, etc., just won’t give the coverage to what is happening all over the world to Christians. True suffering. But, it is there, and we need to see it.

The Irony of This Pope
The more I read about Pope Francis, the more I deeply admire him. He just visited the home of his name sake: Francis of Assisi.
