New York Times writer David Gibson says Pope Francis is a 'lonely moral voice'

David Gibson argues that Pope Francis puts the needs and interests of others ahead of his own.

Frida Ghitis : If Pope Francis embodies humility and mercy, the social value of these qualities requires urgent reexamination.

She says the Pope's commentary on the war in Ukraine has been perverse and contemptible.

Ghitis says Pope Francis and his meek faith as a foil for Donald Trump's deranged moral compass is wrong.

The elevation of “reality” above the sordid business of ideas’ is not just a rhetorical manoeuvre.

Ideas are not theoretical abstractions, they are salient elements of what has motivated men and nations since time immemorial.

What gave Pope John Paul II his moral authority was the revulsion he felt for the horrors of Soviet communism.
