Pope Francis, a True World Hero
I am afraid for Pope Francis:
He is honest, compassionate, emphatic,
articulate, outspoken, open-minded, and
a genuine religious and spiritual leader. He is
loved by the masses,
trusted by the masses,
listened to and followed by the masses; and
believed and admired by the masses.
He speaks out in defense of the poor and the disenfranchised
in Third World Countries. In his speeches, he draws attention to the widening
gap between the rich and the poor – especially in South America and Africa. Furthermore,
concerning the poor, he points out the
exploitations, the genocides, the ravishing of their natural resources, and their
displacements (removal from their lands) in these continents by the most
powerful corporations/countries in the world.
He speaks out against political and social misconducts,
money laundering, and corrupt banking practices throughout the world, including
Vatican City. He speaks out against rape and abuse of children, and the need
for investigation and reform in the Catholic Church.
Pope Francis life is in danger because he encourages the
citizens of the world to embrace to live lives and to act in accordance with
God-fearing, Christian values. He encourages all citizens to be honest, and to
have empathy for the sick, the meek, and the poor.
These reasons that I’ve listed above make Pope Francis “the most dangerous threat to the biggest
and most powerful corporations in the current global economy!” It also makes him the leader in the world
I respect and admire – more than any other! He is my hero.
