MY SAY: THE RELIGION OF “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN” ON POPE FRANCIS
The other day at a party, a young man, earnestly secular and ultra-liberal on every single social issue, called Pope Francis a “really cool pope.” I guess as my e-pal Dan Friedman points out, there are many “really cool Reform rabbis” whose views on capitalism and climate change are completely consonant with those of Pope Francis. How hilarious that the coercive anti religion, anything goes, liberal groupies, who cringe at skull caps and phylacteries or celibate priests, suddenly find common ground with a religious leader who abhors gay marriage and any form of abortion, whether surgical or medically induced.
Mark Steyn found this pithy quote from Richard Tol

“I am not impressed by normally a- or anti-religious intellectuals who suddenly discovered their inner papist. ”
That sums it up….rsk
