As a Christian, this is incredible to me I never thought I’ll see the day the someone in the church will criticize this corrupted plutocracy that we’re living under.

What’s also fascinating is all the things the holy Bible teaches about wealth, greed and corruption and not many Christians here in America not wanting to face the fact that the United States is a prime example of that.

For all the criticisms for the Pope and/or the Catholic Church, which are valid, at least they don't try and pretend that Jesus would be a gun-toting capitalist the way Evangelicals do in the US.

Dude, I'm telling you, this pope has been UNPRECEDENTED in his positions. I'm not Catholic but this matters.

Well I'll bet that gets US cardinals and bishops robes in a bunch.

He hit every nail on the head with 100% precision. I am agnostic but preach pope, the people agree!

With one single memo to the world this Pope has taken a stand beyond any other Pope in my lifetime.

I will share this. As a very nearly lapsed Catholic, this bought me to tears. Thank you, Holy Father.

So ashamed of my country(UK) for standing against giving the vaccine patent to poor countries. Great words from the Pope.

I still Remember when the Clump was running. He said that the Pope endorsed him to which the Pope replied he did not know what the hell he was talking about. What the Pope has is EMPATHY that has nothing to do with religion. Even thought he is the head of a religion I am an atheist but have respect for the man and him caring about his fellow humans.

That is so well-written and straight to the point. I have to read the whole statement.
Thank you Pope Francis. These are desperately needed words. Thank you David for reporting this.

I am Catholic, however, haven't been to church in years, and so love this very much!

Now who wants to bet that Republicans start calling the pope a socialist. Lol.

Pope Francis is the only Pope in my lifetime that gives me any hope that religion is not all bad. He seems to me to be genuine in his longing for humanity to succeed. One love... #WeR1

Wow, a Christian who follows Christ's example, I never thought I'd see the day...!

[patriciamasterson]

Now this is how religion _should_ be wielded: for peace, compassion, and the betterment of humanity.

I'm an atheist, but man that brings a tear to my eye. This is what I thought a Christian was growing up.
