"Francis projects an image of being incredibly loving and accepting. That footage of a little kid refusing to leave the Pope's side and instead of getting mad, Francis smiles and pats him on the head? Francis kissing the face of the disfigured man? Francis washing people's feet at a youth penal colony? Francis talking, one-on-one, to anyone? Literally anyone? I hate hugs, but Francis is at the top of my Hug List. DTHug."
