Plus: the new name of colonialism, and 'all in' on climate change
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/11/28/for-pope-francis-wisdom-comes-from-the-poor/
Historically speaking, Christians always have been obsessed with

importance of both Scripture and tradition. Yet it's also clear that
at the personal level, he prizes yet another font of wisdom with an
almost equally spiritual fervor. In a word, Francis takes his cues
from the poor...
