There is one man on Earth who could hasten the arrival of Animal Rights by decades, if not centuries.
Pope Francis.
Pope Francis has proven himself to be the most Liberal, most ecumenical, most enlightened pope the world has ever seen.
He has denounced capitalism, he has renounced orthodox Catholic concepts that have long alienated and separated people of different faiths. He has embraced atheists, rejected Hell, cleaned house in the Vatican, turned palaces into soup kitchens, walks with the poor, and is more like Jesus than any pope has ever been.
Considering the entrenched Conservatives in the Curia and among the Cardinals, I am amazed Pope Francis is still alive. He is making war on the unChristian wing of the Roman Catholic Church.
During his rise through the church's hierarchy, Francis was not considered a radical, but his actions since assuming the papacy would do a Liberation Theologist proud.
One can assume that there was significance to his choosing the name Francis, after Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
If Pope Francis continues to act in the interests of the poor and downtrodden, continues to oppose capitalism and imperialism, we can hope he will acknowledge Animal Rights as well.
Were Pope Francis to do so, the effect would be tremendous. A billion Catholics around the world are directly influenced by the pope.
A number of Animal Rights activists are trying to call on Pope Francis to issue a papal bull or similar edict on Animal Rights.
