When it comes to Pope Francis, the media are quick to pick up on his more liberal views.
In a story headlined, \”Republicans’ Comments Put Them on Other Side of Pope’s Visiting Message,\” the New York Times reports, \”Pope Francis has delivered an encyclical calling for increased action against climate change, denounced the role of global capitalism in increasing poverty, and enthusiastically supported the new nuclear accord with Iran, positions that have caused tensions in the Republican Party.\”
CNN, meanwhile, headlined a story, \”The Pope vs. the GOP,\” and reported that \”a large number of House and Senate Republicans want the leader of the Catholic Church to keep a lid on his progressive attitudes on climate change, immigration, guns and capitalism.\”
The Washington Post warned that \”Pope Francis visit puts Republicans on the defensive.\”
