Pope Francis Says Power Intoxicates Without Humility and Love

Did you know that the Pope gave a TED Talk? Whatever you think about the Catholic Church or it's current spiritual leader, he offered these biblically based words about the use of power:

The more powerful you are, the more your actions will have an impact on people, the more responsible you are to act humbly. If you don't, your power will ruin you, and you will ruin the other. There is a saying in Argentina: "Power is like drinking gin on an empty stomach." You feel dizzy, you get drunk, you lose your balance, and you will end up hurting yourself and those around you, if you don't connect your power with humility and tenderness. Through [Christ-like] humility and concrete love, on the other hand, power—the highest, the strongest one—becomes a service, a force for good.
