It looks like the pope just let out a fart. Nothing brings men of all different belief systems together like a good ol' barn burner.

No matter what, that picture is what the kids call "totes adorbs"

to answer the original question: i think a lot of hardcore conservatives have it in their heads that "liberals" have it out for religion, especially christianity. so when the defacto face of christianity comes out and supports a bunch of ideas that are typically associated with "liberals", i think it messes with their heads quite a bit and they just can't handle it. that's just a guess on my part but i think it's pretty accurate, at least for some.

No need to over explain yourselves (as usual) Lib and mocat , it's just an observation.

So, are we all in agreement that this Pope has basically helped the church survive?

Makes me pleased to send his private schools in our area my $$

Why does Pope Francis back liberal causes directly, conservative causes subtly?

Just the previous day, in his talk to the US bishops’ conference, the Pope had cautioned against a confrontational approach. “Harsh and divisive language does not befit the tongue of a pastor,” he said. When he spoke to Congress, I believe, the Pope was following his own advice.

Notice how the Holy Father approached the question of international terrorism:

We know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism. This means that we must be especially attentive to every type of fundamentalism, whether religious or of any other kind.
The specific problem troubling the world today is not just any form of religious extremism, but Islamic extremism. However, to say that aloud is to invite a firestorm; remember how Pope Benedict XVI paid for his candid comments on Islam in his Regensburg lecture. Pope Francis evidently believed that he did not need to mention Islamic extremism in particular; he could count on his listeners to draw the obvious inferences.

Good God how do these people miss this time and time again...

Agreed. The sooner his face isn't being associated with the Republican party the better.

I agree. I can't wait until the Republican party, or some third party, is competitive again.
