We’re excited to welcome Pope Francis to the United States. It didn’t take us long to compile this list. We’d enjoy hearing any you’d like to add…
- He took his name from Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and author of that famous, beautiful and eponymous prayer.
- He is humble but firm in his beliefs.
- He seems genuinely happy to enjoy the social aspects of being a priest.
- He prefers to walk and so he does.
- He loves the Tango.
- He sings Broadway show tunes.
- He once worked as a bouncer.
- He speaks seven languages. More importantly, he has something to say.
- This beautiful quote “I don’t read the Bible, I listen to it.”
- He’s not into clothes.
- He is the first pope from the Americas
- Molly’s fourth grade teacher once described religion as this, “We’re all in the same church, we’re just looking through different windows.” It seems Pope Francis supports this vision and he has become a champion of interfaith dialogue. We think this kind of empathy makes each faith stronger.
