The pope rocks ... [View all]

Asked if there is a single vision of good, and who decides, Francis says:

“Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good . . . Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.”

This pope is making too much sense ... and that might be a problem for some

BTW .. I am an atheist who is beginning to agree with a religious leader.
