I was appalled that Pope Francis called out the Mayor of Rome, Ignazio "Izzy" Marino, today. The Pope doesn't want him at the arrival ceremony and thinks the Mayor is an opportunistic Christian instead of a real one.
Mayors are some of God's favorite people. Christian Mayors, like yours truly and "Izzy" Marino, follow apostle Paul when he said that to convert the heathen you need to appear as their friend.
That's what Mayor Izzy has been doing. At the most recent International Association of Mayors, he explained to me he reluctantly pretends certain things so heathens will relate to him. He pretends to be a liberal. At the right moment he converts them.
Professional politicians like my friend Izzy are in a league way above the Pope. He needs to sit down and take lessons from Izzy instead of giving lessons.
