Pope Francis has been surprising since he spoke out against capitalism, and he continues to impress by speaking out to give progressive opinions about the critical issues of our times.

We believe his sentiment (regardless of the words we would use to describe it) is nondenominational.
Please read, practice, share, disseminate!

He addressed his message Pacem in Terris to the entire "Catholic world" and indeed "to all men and women of good will". Now, faced as we are with global environmental deterioration, I wish to address every person living on this planet . . . to enter into dialogue with all people about our common home." 
Just goes to show, some pieces of history only become more relevent with time.
