[QUOTE]Pope Francis celebrated mass on the tiny Mediterranean island of Lampedusa on Monday to commemorate thousands of migrants who have died crossing the sea from North Africa, underlining his drive to put the poor at the heart of his papacy.
The choice of Lampedusa for his first official trip outside Rome was highly symbolic for the pontiff, who said news reports of the deaths of desperate people trying to reach a better life had been like "a thorn in the heart".
He spoke to young African migrants before celebrating mass in a sports field that served as a reception center for tens of thousands of mainly Muslim migrants who fled Arab Spring

The church uses alot of its resources to help the poor already. He worked with the poor in South America and is trying to reform the church so that it focuses on the poor.

Tell that to the group at my church who asked for money to help build a water well near a school in Nigeria because they had to travel miles just for a little water, and instead of $1,000 in donations like we asked for, we got $10,000 and renovated the school, making it one of the wealthiest schools in the area.
Fuck off.

What exactly do you want him to do?

Yeah, let's have him go over to Afr....oh.
He has done enough here in Argentina, now he can do more in that chair than being on the field.

The guy is sparing some cash, and is now on the process of making people who dont want to spare the cash spare it.
Granted, they are against homosexual marriage, might encourage some misogynism and have lazy masturbating priests but that doesn't mean they are not helping people/others doing their job.
I love this new pope!
What people don't realize is that the majority of the Vaticans wealth is calculated with all the priceless shit in mind.
