I’m not Catholic. I loved Francis.

Leo is amazing partly because OF Francis, so that respect is acknowledged.

But Leo is doing something amazing here. I commend him for his bravery and his conviction to his faith for taking action. He is putting himself in between the people and the wanna be dictator. It is what all religious leaders SHOULD be doing.
