Pope Francis is TIME's Person of the Year - Jose DelReal - POLITICO.com

Pope Francis has been announced as Time’s “Person of the Year,” beating out runner-up Edward Snowden for this year’s award.

“For pulling the papacy out of the palace and into the streets, for committing the world’s largest church to confronting its deepest needs, and for balancing judgment with mercy, Pope Francis is Time’s 2013 Person of the Year,’” wrote Time Managing Editor Nancy Gibbs on Francis’s selection.

Interesting who the runner-up was, eh?

An apt choice.

Cool and well deserved.

I really like this guy.

The left leaning media hates the Catholic religion for their stand on abortion. Why would they pick the Pope for the cover of Time? Because he criticized capitalism?

Not a bad choice

A person is much more than just one of his positions on one single issue. In fact, I believe that a person is much more than the sum of his parts.

Great choice, Time.

Bad choice. Eric Snowden should have been chosen instead of this retard.

Hey, idiot, take "Christian" out of your screen name at once.
