Would you believe we have another New Pope Says Awesome True Thing story? Yeah, we know, it's getting sort of routine. But listen: Pope Francis is condemning excessive wealth and income inequality again, and calling on nations to reduce the gap between rich and poor. New Pope (that's his name, no matter how long he's Pope) released his
Pope Francis' messages are primarily directed at Catholics, and he issues them because, well, that's his job. But sorry that he doesn't meet your standards of ideological purity.

Among progressive-minded Christians, the attitude New Pope is displaying here is termed the "Prophetic" mode of discourse. It follows the path of the wild-eyed, smelly self-appointed prophet who comes out of the woods to deliver devastating jeremiads to the mighty, who generally do not appreciate the rebuke.

New Pope >> Pope Zero

WWWJD?
What would White Jesus do?
The secret is to puree the camel first.
