Even as a lapsed Catholic I am really starting to like this new Pope. He didn't move into the papal residence but stays at a nearby guest house, preaches humility, and when his establishment sets up a fancy shindig for the 'papal court', he doesn't show up. This is exactly the right kind of humility that our ruling class needs to emulate. Contrast this with the small and understated little excursion the our royal family took ($100,000,000 for 8 days) during a time when Americans are hurting more than ever.
