The millions lining up to see him (young/old/rich/poor/powerful/powerless) would not do so if they saw him simply as a Vicar of Caesar.
Pope Francis isn't really here on a religious mission. He's basically a foreign head of state making an official state visit. That's why his speeches in public venues have been filled with nothing but bland, silly nonsense that you'd expect to hear from a U.N. Secretary-General, or from Bono.
Read the text of his homily at St. Patrick's Cathedral last night -- which was aimed at a Catholic audience. You'd hardly believe it was delivered by the same Pope who addressed Congress earlier in the day.
I watched the Mass. It was very uplifting and beautiful.
This pope is a white-robed version of Bernie Sanders. There’s scant difference in their ideologies.
Pure nonsense of a media-driven perspective.
“Looks like you missed the Gospel reading at the Mass.”
Awesome. Nice that he found time to fit that in. Did he couch it with a message about “global warming?”
“Pure nonsense of a media-driven perspective.”
Oh, is it now.. how much time did he devote to abortion, hedonistic lifestyles and persecution of Christianity during his speech to Congress yesterday, compared to his railing about “climate change” and immigration?
