I keep believing that Pope Francis isn’t really the person his words have portrayed him to be....via the press.....but then I see things like him being named Time’s Person of the Year and I wonder....

Am I just wanting to believe we don’t have a pope who is a socialist, redistributor, and who is wishy washy on moral teachings of our faith?

“Am I just wanting to believe we don’t have a pope who is a socialist”

That makes no sense. Socialists are atheists. Are you wondering if the Pope is an atheist?

There is not a single quote or statement from the Pope that suggests that.

The press is deliberately misinterpreting the ‘Evangelii Gaudium’ that the Pope wrote recently. Just google it and judge it based on the actual text. There is nothing anti-capitalist in there. Anti-anarchist, maybe.

Time’s People of the Year aren’t really indicative of anything specific. George W. Bush was named so as well. So was Bush Sr. And Reagan twice.
