The Pope’s visit was all pomp and ceremony, non-stop coverage, and mostly uncritical media observations of the all-male spectacle. One commentator even called the Pope the closest thing to God on earth. Maybe, but certainly not the closest thing to Jesus on earth.
Christians are folks who follow Jesus and his teachings. Lots of institutions and individuals claim to be Christian, but few follow his teachings and example as laid out in the Gospels, the source of our understanding of his life and teachings.
We praise Pope Francis for his preaching on poverty and wealth, the importance of helping the poor, the sick, the stranger, the oppressed (unlike his Church which historically surrounded itself with the trappings of wealth and aligned with the powerful). Francis is right since Jesus’ embrace of the downtrodden and rejection of wealth was central to his teachings.
But that is where the Christian part stops. On so many other teachings of Jesus, the Church has strayed far from his teachings and embraced practices that flatly contradict Jesus.
