BluePhantom Educator (of liberals) Nov 11, 2011 7,062 1,764 255 Portland, OR / Salem, OR May 15, 2015 #3 I am starting to become a fan of Pope Francis (I am not Catholic either). I love this line from the article: "Another boy asked why children come into the world with problems and suffer “when they have done nothing bad”. The pope said he had no answer to that question. “One can only raise one’s eyes up to heaven and look for answers that can’t be found.” What I love is that he has the guts to simply say 'I don't know' instead of trying to come up with some forced explanation that is 99% BS.
