The Christians in the Mideast are fleeing their countries and those who remain live in fear. I am not Catholic, but I think it is good that the Pope is giving them his support; they need all the help they can get.

but the venom directed at Francis is not greater there than can be found on nearly all threads posted on Democratic Underground that mentions him. There are posters that wait to pounce, they act as police patrolling the political turf, because the world does not bend towards their proclivities.
