I am an atheist. But I kinda like some of the Catholics. Not so much the Vatican. But this guy is stirring the pot and I am beginning to like that a lot.

More than one DUer has noted that this is a reminder of times past, liberation theology, when Catholic clergy stood on principle instead of dogma.

It is refreshing to see it, especially after a particularly (IMHO) horrible Pope.
