As we all know, Pope Francis is a very loved pope. There isn't anybody who doesn't like him. But why is this? Jesuit journalists interviewed the pope, and they made a list of the five lines of the pope that stood out to them.
1.“My authoritarian and quick manner of making decisions led me to have serious problems and to be accused of being ultraconservative."
2. “A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell me, when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person, or reject and condemn this person? We must always consider the person.”
3. “The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent."
4. “If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing.”
5. “I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.”
The pope is obviously a very strong individual. He knows what he believes and he is great at making other people believe it as well. He is great at explaining teachings, and he is very east to like. There is really nothing about him that you can't like.
