"My Crush on Pope Francis"

Never mind the absurdity of hipster Christians as a concept (Christ died for my sins? Cool story, bro). If anything, Pope Francis is the anti-hipster, earnest and self-deprecating. Though the Bible promises that all things can be made new, there are only so many ways to reinvent its ancient stories, and he brings them back to basics: mercy, humility, concern for the poor and for the vulnerable (including our planet).

By the way, this article from The New York Times is found in the "Fashion and Style" section.  Really.

It's so much easier to be an Episcopalian.
