We extend our hopes and wishes to Pope Francis in his newly appointed role as steward of the Catholic Church. The world needs men and women of God who are of overt moral strength and goodness, who celebrate, not fear, difference and diversity in mankind. Men and women of God care for God’s creations and care to make the world we inhabit the very best He had in mind for it. If Pope Francis reaches for this wide embrace of all humanity, his ministry will truly be a blessing for the entire world.
