Sadly, yet predictably, vicious hate started pouring in immediately. Ah, the “tolerance” on display, once again.

Despicable.
Honest. Principled. Steadfast. Fearless. Humble. No wonder liberals fear and hate @Pontifex #PopeFrancis

Bingo. Of course, Pope Francis loves them and always will. They can’t understand that, what with being consumed by hate and all.
