Personally, i feel the Catholic Church is all-in with NWO Globalism. The Pope is now just another NWO Global Elite Puppet. Why else would a Communist Globalist Magazine like Time be praising him? Do the Math.
Ron Paul Fans... never out of stock on the Crazy.
Realistically, this Pope realizes the Church is not only out of touch with the times, but the reality that most of the faithful deal with.
Countries that are predominately Catholic are also predominately poor, so calling the mostly Protestant industrialized world on inequality and the abuses of capitalism makes sense.
