Pope Francis makes a funny

My issues with Roman Catholicism aside; this is quite interesting.

The story:

VATICAN CITY –  Joking that he’s like a pharmacist, Pope Francis is promoting prayer as medicine for the heart.

Appearing on Sunday at his studio window, Francis held up a rosary in a box designed to resemble a packets of pills, before volunteers distributed thousands of those boxes, which feature a design of a human heart.

Francis said he was recommending reciting the rosary prayer as a “spiritual medicine” that is “good for the heart.”

Francis’ down-to-earth way of speaking, in a style ordinary people can readily understand, is drawing larger than usual crowds to St. Peter’s Square for his traditional weekly appearances.  About 80,000 tourists and Romans packed the square on Sunday.

I have been reading around about this new pope; and from what I have read, the Conservative wing of the RCC is not too pleased with this new pope at all. I suspect this here, might be why that is the case.
