Pope Francis stands for most of everything Donald Trump finds objectionable.
I would list this, in no particular order, as the following:
Kindness and tolerance of minorities and other races and religions.
Concern about global warming to the extent of calling for an immediate and drastic cut-back of polluting energy generators and waste.
A critique of unbridled capitalism and a belief in the common good, based on human solidarity, and a truly Christian community as envisaged by the Beatitudes.
Humility.
Spirituality.
Jesuitical Discernment.
An ability to listen to the other.
A God of Surprises vs a God of Mammon.
One way of the other, either Pope Francis or Trump will see their popularity ratings or fall in the US in the coming days . I suspect Francisco will prove Trump’s nemesis. He has God on his side.

I’ve spent over five years or so probing family papers, personal interviews, classified government documents, and other previously undiscovered archives, and discovered that he was at the heart of the Allies’ intelligence and propaganda operations in Madrid, with responsibility that extended to Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Tangiers.
