"Pope Francis is challenging us. He has raised some of the most difficult issues facing the world today—income inequality, poverty, mass migration, immigration, human trafficking, climate change. These are issues we can, and must, address.

He’s also offering hope. A message of optimism. That there is no reason we can’t make this a better world. That’s why people of all backgrounds and faiths feel connected to this Pope."

Why Joe Biden Is Following Pope Francis Throughout His US Trip
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/joe-biden-pope-francis-us-trip/story?id=33983235

It's not right for Joe to reject the policies being implemented and continue to push such ideas as pure religious thought, it's all dogma to him but if we really tried to address those issues Joe says even the Pope would reject such policies?

What's wrong with Joe? Without those policies his Pope is just Pat Robertson. His faith is just a bunch of noise and gestures.
