I have to say that I like this new pope. I did read the Bible, and as an atheist, I don’t believe, but I do understand what it says.

Pope Francis talks about helping poor people, being humble and that greed is wrong. And I’m thinking — yep — that’s the way I read it. I think that all Christians who say they want to follow the teachings of Jesus should listen to this guy.
