When was the last time you dined with the homeless armchair warrior? I'm sad to say it's been a few years for me, 2012. I assure you its not lazy. Looking someone in the eyes who has nothing in this world, but still gets up every day is humbling and gutrenching. It forces you to reexamine your values and how you live your life. Try it sometime.

the pope is the real homeless armchair warrior, or should l say homeless golden throne (adorned with jewels) warrior. the pope is not a man of the common or poor people, he is not even a human man of the people, he sits "upon this earth the place of God Almighty." The pope has always been a bogus figurehead used to pacify, manipulate, and ultimately subjugate the masses in order to take their money. Pretending to care about the people they steal from by "dining" with them in front of the cameras is just another of their tricks.

Wow, your really bitter. Maybe you should take a few days off or something if it's get to you this badly. You can't help your clients if you are grumpy.
The Pope has made dramatic daily lifestyle changes to this position. For example, he has forgone the Pope's apartment and instead lives with a group of priests. He isn't putting on a show. If you take the time to read about his life and ministry you would see this is something he has always done. http://m.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/03/1259763/-Pope-Francis-Reportedly-Leaving-Vatican-at-Night-to-Minister-to-Homeless-of-Rome-Anonymously
