Benedict was supposed to be the last pope. Maybe they miscalculated. Francis say that he is not a leftist. Saying you are not a leftist is one of the favorite things that leftists do.
Pope once said that it doesn’t bother him if he is called Marxist since he knows many good people that are Marxist. I wonder if Francis also know many Nazis in Argentina who also are good people.
Before going Pope Francis to the Holy Land he proudly portrayed him as the Che Guevara of the Palestine people.
