4. Pope Francis 

Pope Francis is a lot of things to a lot of people. The head of the Roman Catholic Church is certainly not shy about voicing his opinions on a variety of topics. He may, at one event, hit out at people staring at mobile devices while at a dinner table. Francis has also been outspoken about climate change. He has even, perCruxnow.com, informed Catholics that they may have to be open to change. Francis has upset individuals on both sides of the political spectrum. Regardless of what you think about his beliefs or his politics, one has to respect that Francis speaks his mind and his heart.
