Yes, Christ calls us to love our neighbor. That's not the issue here.
The issue is that whatever Francis is doing is not love. It's groveling to two tyrant world leaders in a pathetic attempt for "peace".
Poche, Central Africa is one of the world's poorest, most violent and despondent areas. There are some decent countries that have overcome their problems, but most of the region has not. Whatever Francis is trying to do is useless.
