as Pope and his beliefs in action. It was so pointedly directed at the more authoritarian world leaders--and frankly, Trump in particular (at least from my interpretation). I only wish there was a camera directed on him to see his reaction. But a point was made, nonetheless. I can only hope the new Pope is one of the more liberal candidates who will continue France's efforts. I don't think any under consideration are Jesuits, but a couple are still quite aligned with Francis's more progressive outlook.
