I like that pope...

[HarmanKardon]

Pope Francis is visiting Jordan. But he refuses the big armoured limousines the officials put at his disposal. He insisted on a simple car and chose a japanese used car.

Last year an old reverend of a small village in Italy gave him his vintage Renault R4. Francis was totally excited. He even rode the car for a small distance but of course just inside the Vatican.

It is a good gesture ,But it could become a deathwish,I think the odds of assasination are greater in that region especialy for a Religous leader,not of Muslim origin.This Pope Really seems to be putting the Umph Back in the Papel regime.he Shows more enthusiasm than any I have seen in a will.

The pope's modesty and his permanent wish to get into physical contact with the people drive the papal's securitiy service almost crazy.

It is a dumb thing to do, especially in that section of the world.

In this context he reminds me a bit of the Dalai Lama's attitude and behaviour.

I think Francesco is aware of the 1981 pope assassination but he does not take the consequences of that incident.

I too am liking this new Pope from the Jesuit Order Chris.

Sometimes doing the right thing means taking some risks.

In fact most of the time it does.
