Since all donations are forwarded to Doctors Without Borders (right?), he's probably okay with it.

I don't like heavily religious folks, but Pope Francis seems to actually make the world a happier place, so I'm with him.

New law will allow tax exempt churches to give 1 needy person 1 grain of rice per year to maintain tax exempt status.
