Article from The Wall Street Journal.
Pope Francis has decided to lessen his protection. He went to Rio de Janeiro with an open-sided Popemobile. Everybody is very surprised with his decision. The Pope is determined to keep the filter between himself and ordinary people as thin as possible." However, people are afraid that he is too exposed to danger. The reason why the Popemobile was bulletproof in the first place was because Pope John Paul II got shot at. He has departed from some safety measures that the ones before him took.
I understand that the Pope want's to be treated "equal." However, there might be many people out there to assassinate him, just like previous leaders in history, as well as Pope John Paul II.
