He also reached outside of the faith community:

.@Pontifex "Among you any who do not believe or cannot pray I ask you please to send good wishes my way" #PopeInDC

Glenn Beck tweeted about the pope’s more political statements:

The Popes speech was a "Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall" moment. Unfortunately, the "wall" is capitalism. #popefrancis #popeindc #pope

If Kanye West does win the presidency in 2020, perhaps we’ll see more of this kind of in-depth analysis from our future first lady.

The pope is dope
