Pope Francis is featured in the latest Time 100, which profiles “the 100 most influential people.” President Barack Obama was selected to describe the influence of Pope Francis. He writes:
Rare is the leader who makes us want to be better people. Pope Francis is such a leader.
His Holiness has moved us with his message of inclusion, especially for the poor, the marginalized and the outcast. But it has been his deeds, his bearing, the gestures at once simple and profound — embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners — that have inspired us all.
