We haven’t discussed this event here. I have thoughts and feelings on it, but I am not sure I am ready to discuss them. However, the linked article taught me a lesson I needed. I am a lover of the present Pope. I love the down to earthness of him, I love watching him eat with common people, touch the sick/scary/diseased man, I love his invitations to include all in his faith. What I had never considered was the possibility that others, outside of my religion, would be attracted to the words of my religious leaders as I have been to Pope Francis. This article taught me that.
I hope you enjoy the read.
