[MarMema]

The ascetic lifestyle is one which produces saints.

The celebrity lifestyle is one which produces idolatry.

Care to tell me how his encyclicals and other teachings spawn idolotry? You haven't read them so you don't understand how ridiculous your accusation is. You prefer to judge on blindness of opinion than what he actually teaches. Like I said, you are free to do so, but I think one should judge a person based on what they teach, not on perceived notions and prejudices.
