"In recent decades, he has emerged as a champion of social justice and the poor who has spoken out against the evils of globalization and slammed the demonic effects of the imperialism of money." I think that as the first Jesuit pope, he's a very interesting choice -- an aspect that seems to be glossed over by most of the MSM. I wouldn't be surprised if he had pretty much everyone "challenged" -- or extremely annoyed, depending on perspective -- before he's finished.

Observe the splendor in which the pope lives and in which the Vatican operates.
Should that wealth not be what God wants for mankind? What was that about poverty being a violation of human rights? If capitalist splendor is what God wants for mankind then the Pope has his work cut out for him. He should not be taking the wealth away from those who are blessed, but teaching the poor and oppressed how to earn a better living.
