A Follower's Description of Pope Francis

Deat readers, one of my followers just sent me an email that I want to share with you all. It is such a lovely image of Francis of Assisi...and Pope Francis. Thank you, dear follower. "It would seem that the rituals, pomp and circumstance, formality of the Church may be perched for a touch of "down home, good old boy action". Which may be overdue. He's an "I'll do it my way" type and that's what he'll do. I can just see him stealing out of the vatican at 2 AM to visit the people living on the streets and getting pizza for them. There they'll all be sitting on the water fountain in St. Peter Square as the sun comes up over the wall. A little time ago we were having a discussion about "the right person to stop this madness". And your point was that ..."When it is really needed the right person always seems to come to the front and accept the duty" (not exactly your words). Well, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Coolidge, Ike , Churchill, Reagan, Thacher, Golda all stepped up. Maybe it's now Pope Francis's time to lead the advance for the entire world and kick start the recovery with his simplicity and honestry. It's great to give flowery speeches, it's another to do the work. He seems to be a worker and doer ... not just a talker."
