Just finished Markus Friedrich’s “The Jesuits: A History” (2022), one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Here he beautifully sums up Pope Francis’ legacy.
Long live the Pope! @Pontifex
I was just an Ed Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under GHW Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I might say something?

“A Church that does not join with the poor and denounce with them the injustices visited upon them is not the true Church of Jesus Christ.”
