In the wake of his death, much has been said about the life of Pope Francis and what happens next. Others have focused on the error of the papacy itself, including my colleague Dr. Brad Harrub (here).

While I’m not a member of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) and vehemently disagree with much of what they stand for, I acknowledge that the office of the Pope holds tremendous sway over the religious and even political world. Though I oppose all of them, some do a better job than others. To that end, I believe Francis was truly terrible at the job. That being the case…

I want to focus on what Francis did give us—and that’s the value of a bad example.
