Dear Pope Francis,

Dear Pope Francis,

I am a fan.

Everything I read about you screams...I follow Jesus.  You are literally the most powerful man in Christendom, in fact you are the most powerful man in the religious community period.  Well, I mean there is Jesus and those millions of people who follow Mohammed, but hey let's face it, they look to you too.

You care about poor people.  You care about living in luxury.  You are living with the other people who work in the Vatican, not the papal palace.  You are living out what your church, The Catholic Church has demonstrated so well through the years, to take care of people.  You tweet.  And in those tweets you ask us to pray for you.  Pray for you?  You and the people of your faith believe that you act "in persona Christi," in the person of Christ for your people.  If you wanted to (which it has been done like twice) you could speak from the Bishop's chair and your words would be infallible. Yet, you are asking us to pray for you.  That is powerful humility, my friend. Get it, Pope Francis.

Your very Baptist friend,
Will

Protestant friends,

Support his man.  Pray for him.  Rather you like it or not he represents you to the world. They see him as the face and voice of Christianity, you don't have to like it, but it is reality.

I saw so many things making fun of him during conclave.  Making fun of what they do.  Stop it. It was all in good fun, but seriously this man could usher in a huge change in the way Christianity is viewed around the world. Please lets join hands and share the gospel instead of dividing further.

Go, be Christ's people. His little c, catholic church. We are all in this together, and not just high school musical style for real.

Again,
Will
