The Pope is such a nice guy

[CleanShavenJesus]

I get it. Compared to previous popes he does look like a genuine saint. It's pretty cool he's donated the staff's bonuses, it's pretty cool he's given up the golden pope gear, it's pretty cool he's more "liberal" than previous popes. It still doesn't address the fact that the catholic church sits on billions worth of artwork, land and architecture, that could be used to genuinely help fund things like the logistics issues involved with world poverty, or the scientific pursuits of solving the world energy crisis. Saying he donated a few million and that he's more liberal, and he sold a motorcycle sounds all well and good. I just can't get my head around the fact that it's pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. When people talk like this guy's so great, it just makes me want to heave in all honesty.

Idealistically, everyone would love if what you wanted happened. But it just isn't, not right now anyway. Francis is probably the best kind of Pope for the Catholic Church right now, realistically speaking. That's why I appreciate him.
