“… He is a fellow soul.”
I’m not a Roman Catholic, but so far I’ve been very impressed with Pope Francis. According to an article by Peggy Noonan which appeared in a recent issue of The Wall Street Journal, “He loves the poor and not in an abstract way. He gave the cardinal’s palace in Buenos Aires to a missionary order with no money. He lives in an apartment, cooks his own food, rides the bus. He rejects pomposity. He does not feel superior. He is a fellow soul.” Just think of how much better off the world would be if business leaders and politicians conducted their affairs in the same manner.
Hi Ross – interesting notes on the new Pope. How about a contrarian point of view on this: Without people who want to drive the train, no one would ever leave the station. Absent leaders and innovators, it’s like Steve Forbes comment on communist Russia – the food’s free, you just can’t get any. Cheers, gm
Dear Gary,
Thank you so much for a most interesting comment. I hope all is well. All the best, Ross
