Is Pope Francis the Christian Gandalf? | Sojourners

Is Pope Francis the Christian Gandalf?


When a soft-spoken, white-robed, wisdom-dispensing sage took the stage this morning before Congress, his temperament seemed a little familiar. Former Sojourners staffer Danny M. proclaimed him the "Christian Gandalf," and (okay, all disputes as to whether Gandalf is the original Christian Gandalf aside) we totally dig it.

So naturally, we made a Pope-Gandalf mashup. Special thanks to Danny and fellow former Sojo staffer Jack P. for creative inspiration and input. #fellowship
