I'm not a Papist, not even a very good Christian, (As you have noted, I'm sure.). But, I do believe in credit where credit is due and to the Pope I give credit for speaking the truth. As for the acolytes of unbridled greed and "trickle down" economics, I give credit for the struggling world economy and the "race to the bottom". I thank them for------nothing.

The pope is a Jesuit and the right has been killing in the past decades such active catholic priests and nuns in Central and South America.

That Francis should come to power is a miracle. I guess it was frustration from the numerous scandals.

Check the life of this Priest.

Ahhh, yes-those Jesuits are the smartest kids on the block and a constant source of irritation to those who would build 'butter' cathedrals.
My Irish Catholic better half was amazed and gratified that a Jesuit was chosen for the top job.
