I like how he told the truth about Islam and it's founder.
I dislike how he recanted the truth he told about Islam and it's founder, but hey, what are you gonna do? 70 year old nuns were getting stabbed in the back!

His first encyclical. Some "Christians" hate the Pope for what he is, and never read anything he said. His first encyclical is about the love of God.
Hear is a small sample:
1. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 Jn 4:16). These words from the First Letter of John express with remarkable clarity the heart of the Christian faith: the Christian image of God and the resulting image of mankind and its destiny. In the same verse, Saint John also offers a kind of summary of the Christian life: “We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us”.
We have come to believe in God's love: in these words the Christian can express the fundamental decision of his life. Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. Saint John's Gospel describes that event in these words: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should ... have eternal life” (3:16). In acknowledging the centrality of love, Christian faith has retained the core of Israel's faith, while at the same time giving it new depth and breadth.

What Christian would argue with this? Who can say this is not a rich teaching?

Everything the Church does is based on Scripture and Tradition and Magesterium. The Church worships the Trinity and is the fullness of the truth. I love the Pope!
