From Nashville-Pope Francis says it's not necessary to talk about abortion, contraception and gay marriage all the time. He mourns that the world doesn't care whether children are dying of hunger and urges the sacrifice of personal comfort for the greater good.
And that's just from interviews with religious and secular media that came out in the past two weeks.

In Middle Tennessee, one Vanderbilt University religion professor called the reaction a phenomenon. Christian rock band Jars of Clay's guitarist, Stephen Mason, put it more casually — "I've got a pope crush," he wrote on Facebook, linking to an article about Pope Francis bemoaning the world's obsession with money.
