Il Papa del popolo, che ha fatto casino nella Chiesa, in Vaticano e nel mondo

Sarà rimpianto molto nei barrio, nelle favelas, dagli scartati, da transessuali e prostitute, dall’infinita umanità in fuga dei deportati, dai milioni di disperati sotto le bombe. Non è una novità per il Cristianesimo, vista la fine del suo fondatore. Eppure la storia di questo Papa è come tornata alle origini e in contrasto con la trasformazione della storia della Chiesa, dall’imperatore Costantino in poi
