Letters: Her papal decor stolen
WITH GREAT faith, hope and love in my heart, I decorated the front of my house in South Philly to honor and welcome our Holy Father Pope Francis during his visit to Philadelphia.

Unfortunately, a sinner robbed my decorations not once but twice!
I want to thank you for trying to test my faith, trying to make me angry, trying to make me feed into your evilness!
I enjoy being tested!
You could rob all the material things I own but you and no one else will ever take my faith away from me!
I will pray to our Lord for your soul!

Champions of life
Kudos to Christine Flowers for her inspired piece about a spiritual leader who is moving hearts and minds wherever he goes. Pope Francis is a champion of life in all its stages and conditions - a mantra that Ms. Flowers has consistently promoted in her columns.
The pope summed up his message of peace, love and mercy in one simple line: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." In a world hardened by greed, reckless abuse of nature and war, we need to hear such reminders of our shared humanity. God bless him.
