A Jewish Atheist Responds to the Pope's Call for Peace

<snip>
"Speaking as a Jewish atheist, I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the pope's appeal to me to make common cause with him for peace.

A sus órdenes, Pope Francis. Count me in.

The verdict of history has been decisive. Stalin was wrong. The pope is a powerhouse. The Soviet Communists went to the dustbin of history. The pope is leading 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide. A quarter of the U.S. population identifies as Roman Catholic."

I never thought I would live to see such a wonderful change in the Catholic Church.

this man all the way.

Economic and spiritual growth will finally come with changes in the churches' views on reproductive rights and equality for all humans.
