This person is clearly an improvement over his predecessor....

Good cause: The Residence of Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst in Limburg may be turned into a soup kitchen or refugee centre

I like this dude and I'm not even catholic...

[gopiscrap]

1. I agree

2. I like Pope Francis, too and I'm not Catholic either.....

I heard a story about him several weeks ago that he got a letter from a single mom stating that she was worried about her baby because none of the priests would baptize her illegitimate baby - this Pope offered to baptize her baby! This Pope seems to be all about inclusion, not exclusion!

Time will tell if whether or not he's the real deal.......

3. The College of Cardinals want a do over

You just know it.

4. I'm non religious and I like this guy

I was raised Southern Baptist but somewhere along the way I lost my religion. Today I don't believe in a supreme being any more than I believe in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus
In the whole scheme of things my death won't be any different than the last bug that hit my wind shield. IMO

It matters not to me what someone else believes in as long as they don't try to make me believe whatever it is too.

5. For the time being please use "does a bear shit in the woods?" because the alternative is not valid.

6. I may have to reconsider religion. nt

7. His position on social justice is great. Now just waiting on LGBT and women's rights to come along

I think he will move the church on those issues, but until he does, I'm holding off on the praise.
