The Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church on Earth. He must direct the affairs of this multi-faceted organization, so he gets dumped with every serious problem eventually—a daunting proposition!
Pope Francis has a unique style. He often talks ‘off script’ but also his Apostolic Exhortations can present a novel approach to issues too.
As expected of a Pope, Pope Francis’ advice is based in kindness, inclusiveness, charity, peace, and a deep caring for humanity. He is less rigid about ‘rules’…but knows who is in charge!
