The Pope and the Rabbi

[libstaK]

From the article:

One of Pope Francis’ dearest friends is none other than a Jewish Rabbi.

And Rabbi Abahram Skorka, who has known Pope Francis for 15 years, since he was Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, has a concise description of what makes Francis’ papacy different from his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, born Joseph Ratzinger.

Pope Francis “lives with his mind in heaven and with his feet on Earth,” Rabbi Skorka told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday. “And Ratzinger lived totally in heaven.”

I love stories of Interfaith friendships, it is the way to future peace and it doesn't surprise me at all that Pope Francis would write a book with a Jewish Rabbi about Heaven and Earth.

I'm not a catholic, but Pope Francis comes across like the most likeable person on earth, I dunno how orchestrated it all is, but he gives me Mr. Rogers vibes
