Fanaticism makes Pope Francis angry

Rabbi Abraham Skorka of Buenos Aires, commenting on a book he and Pope Francis have penned and is due to be published in the UK next month says of the new pope: "He believes you can say the most profound things in a very simple way."

Skorka also says in the interview, which was pubiished in The Tablet, that Pope Francis is unwavering in his refusal to tolerate anti-Semitism of any kind, particularly clerical anti-Semitism. "This is the only kind of thing that makes him really angry - anti-Semitism, any kind of fanaticism."
