Pope Francis: God Is Not a Wizard and Evolution Is Cool

Wrong book, sir.

Ever since Jorge Mario Bergoglio stepped down as Archbishop of Buenos Aires and the smoke cleared (literally) to proclaim him Bishop of Rome, the man now known as Pope Francis has become something of a legend.

There are many, many reasons for that mantle he carries, including becoming someone the PRNewserverse has dubbed “The Patron Saint of PR.” He has single-handedly forced the hand of the entire Catholic Church on issues his predecessors refused to consider — like shacking up, gay priests, the Internet, excommunication, and even working on the Sabbath.

Every time, he has been applauded.
