Spirituality does not mean any thing to, for example, a hungry man. In a true sense serving and showing love for the humanity is to ensure that all the impediments to serve and love are removed. I don't see any problem if the Pope addresses these issues.

We probably have to give more time to the new pope before we make up our minds on his biases.
However if the pope is more interested in being accepted as "Liberal" than being "Pope" (Spiritual leader) that could be a problem as well.
Either way he seems to be more tolerant than the previous one (German). Being more tolerant and accepting of diversity is a good thing.
Shalom!

I think he is the first Pope who has talked about vices of capitalism, globalization, financial system, and corruption (even within churches). His views on gay and lesbians seem to be liberal. He is now a kind of "political" Pope. Even he has been accused of being a socialist. I think as the Pope he is right and very original and courageously expresses his views. You can preach the followers to love and serve the humanity. But the systems within which people breathe or operate have to be cooperative.

When someone takes a good step for mankind, be that a PR move or not, I cannot reject it - if I am really for the well-being of all mankind; I will gladly accept such deeds from any religious leader.Unfortunately, most religious leaders promoted sectarian messages in the past, and many are still doing so, to promote sectarian religious business interests only. From that point of view, I find the personality of this Pope attractive.
