I will add that I'm sad (to put it mildly) that he has chosen to follow the path of a political figure rather than a spiritual one.
Why does Pope Francis stir respect, even love, in the hearts of millions, including non-Catholics? Like other Christians, I look to Francis for spiritual leadership. Here are 10 reasons why so many of us admire this pontiff, and why his examples set a moral challenge for us on many fronts.
1. Humility is a virtue
2. Climate change is real
3. Commitment to the poor
4. Capitalism on trial
5. Gays in the church
6. Women are equal
7. Reaching out to Islam
8. Accepting science as valid
9. A global vision
10. Everybody's pope
