Respect for Pope Francis

The Pope who lives by the word and spirit of Jesus Christ, of God, who washes the feet of refugees, chides his priests for excess, lives in a humble small apartment, eats in the public cafeteria, respects women, admits sins of the past, helps the impoverished and poor, sows seeds of peace and harmony.

I'm not a Catholic but this is a Christian man if I ever saw one.

Blessed be, Pope Francis

Life has value when we give it, when we give it in love, in truth; when we give it to others, in everyday life, in the family. #SantaMarta

A Jesuit is a Jesuit and always will be one.

Hi Rah nam

Can you explain that a little more? I don't know that much about "Jesuits"

Thanks,

search for the Jesuit Oath, it might explain something or not
it might give you an understanding why this pope appears as the savior of the world

Blessed be all.
All are children of God.

Surely, one must see the divine spark in all even though, in some, it is not always easy to see.

Pope Francis is in a very difficult position. Based on what I'm reading and hearing, I would not want to walk in his shoes at this particular point in time.

I would not want to walk in another's shoe's either.
To except a lead position of a large organization brings with it all the responsibilities.

I do oppose human worship.
Yes the Divine spark provided by the Divine Deity which I call God is in all humans. Actually I believe it is in all and all.

I would say that the organization talked about in this post should sell all their riches/buildings/artworks and do good with all the money. Do away with all the silly traditions and become servants to the people.
That would impress me.
I've met ordinary lowly folk that are spark igniters and they never expected me to kiss the hand/ring.
Everyone does that which they see as right.
Just opinion from the lowly folk.

Yes, this Pope is definitely a significant improvement over his predecessors for the reasons you mentioned, however, he needs to once and for all come clean on the pedophile priests and clean up the ranks and put protections into place so it doesn't happen again in order to be considered great and deserving of respect.

Easier said than done. I don't know if you have ever worked or been in a huge organization - even Kings had to watch the politics, armament, military, forces, let alone a Pope.

Walk a mile.

Or not.
