Besides battling the Vatican court and their interests, he (Francis) launched a crusade to take Catholicism back to being in touch with social movements, embracing their goal.

Jesus Christ wasn’t a socialist. He was the Son of God. And just what have atheists ever done to advance the cause of civil rights?

The left misunderstands scriptures like ‘He who gathered little did not have too little, and he who gathered much did not have too much.”
Scripture was speaking of the generous spirit Christians should have when another brother or sister were in need, and they can share and all be okay.
It was not about entitlement programs...as the left perceive it. Nor was it about communes as in the 60s-70s.

There are many faithful Jews whose Insights and opinions I’d rather read — along with Catholic ones especially. Who needs another socialist atheist commentator on anything, including the Holy Father? Thanks for posting this but I find it of no significant value in either correctly understanding or evaluating our new Pope Francis. Maybe I overlooked something

Breno Altman is not a Jew, he does not understand the Church, his first article did not make much sense and neither does this one.
(In which he offers no evidence to any effect, just another muddy mess of verbose opinions.)
On one hand, the article is about how Breno Altman disagrees with himself about the Pope.
In essence, though, the article from the very beginning is what all empty men are about: “me, me, me, me...”

Francis isn't worthy of representing the Almighty.
He's either political, or dumb, but he needs to go.

The whole idea of the Left thinking Jesus as some kind of revolutionary is total bs. They seem to omit Christs teaching on what is the true meaning of separation of church and state and the very meaning a of law abiding functioning civil society when he said “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars and render unto God that which is Gods''.

In an atheist universe how could a part of it be "wrong"?

Pope Francis has single handely changed the connotation of the phrase , “Is the Pope Catholic?” from a humorous rhetorical statement to a legit question yet to be answered

So the ‘reactionaries’ inside the Church have never helped the poor? Really?

Maybe I overlooked something.Maybe you overlooked this:
Atheist:"I recognize today that the pope is leading a revolution in Catholicism, that must be observed and shared by the Progressive forces in the planet."
Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake."
