"The Danger of Pope Francis" | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: While the Papacy is a poltical office, it is also spiritual.  This is what scares the approach of Francis, who highlights the fact that taking care of the poor - both on the individual and governmental levels - is an essential part of discipleship (not to be confused with salvation - which is about getting your soul saved - with discipleship being about treasure in Heaven).  Integrating charity into the faith makes some people uncomfortable - especially if they are against raising taxes.  People ridicule Francis because they can't ignore him.  Next they will actively fight him and then he will win.
