He should select different friends. Not socialists, not communists. Not atheists and one-world-travelers. Not eco-freaks and academics who want humanity to die.

This Pope does not practice what he preaches?

How many Syrian Refugees has the Vatican housed?

The Vatican is extremely wealthy. How much money (percentage wise) have they given to the Syrian refugees?

Maybe he can go on Dr. Phil and talk about this problem - you know just like Benedict and John-Paul the Second. Sarcasm alert.

You know, trying to be open minded, fair and all, he does identify a lot of legitimate serious ills that In Spite of Root Cause, in one way or another contribute to human misery, ie: 25+% unemployment in Spain, deadly toxic pollution (Superfund level?), geopolitical war driven strife.
At the end of the day, alas if only Everyone obeyed Jesus ‘ s instruction and abided by the Golden Rule...

Sounds like he is trying to blame his own failures on others. Typical leftist.
