Pope Francis embraces man who is severely disfigured.. The image is touching, and it’s being shown throughout the world today.. The man suffers from neurofibromatosis, which causes tumors and pain.. Pope Francis showing the world what it means to be a true religious leader..

Media accounts seem shocked that the Pope not only embraced this man but also “kissed” him. That shock made me wonder if we have completely lost our humanity.This man, and others who have other similar issues, are people. They deserve respect, and love.. 

The Pope exemplifies what we all should do with the poor, the downtrodden, and the rejected.. 

Whether you believe in God or not, it’s clear: The Pope is a light in the darkness of the planet right now.
