the man Christians claim to follow, but in so many instances, apparently forget whose name is on the religion they claim to be members of.

I never got the whole televangelist thing. 'Give me money and i'll pray for you'!

That certainly was not what Christ did.

Jesus was a socialist. Which is why it's so hilarious to look at who calls themselves 'Christians'. People like Paul Ryan eg, whose main function seems to be to starve the poor and the elderly.

Good for the pope. Now maybe he could speak to 'Christian Politicians' everywhere and ask that they live up Christ's teaching, support programs that help the most vulnerable eg, like SS, instead of trying to destroy them.
