Doing Good With Pope Francis?

Doing Good With Pope Francis?

The sensationalism of the press is sometimes amusing, especially when it comes to religion. On 22nd May 20i3 the Huffington Post announced, "Pope Francis Says Atheists Who Do Good Are Redeemed , Not Just Catholics."

Supposedly, this is something new and groundbreaking. 

It is not.
