Never mind what Jesus would say.

I am more interested in what John Paul II or John XXIII would have said. Or even ‘Paul VI’, ‘John Paul I’ or ‘Benedict XV’ (not XVI).

I am nonplussed.

Yes, in May of last year some had started to worry that he might become “Putin’s Pope”.

I have often said that Francis is very like Trump!

There are a couple of ‘S’ words that readily spring to my mind as I sit here stewing about Francis and this stupid statement. One of these ‘S’ words is SENILE.

You could easily call John Paul II the ASTUTE POPE. He was that.

So, this is how I see things at this time:

John XXIII — the GOOD pope.

Paul VI — the DIPLOMAT pope.

John Paul I — the SMILING pope.

John Paul II — the ASTUTE pope.

Benedict XVI — the SCHOLARLY pope.

Francis — the UNASTUTE pope.

Prove me WRONG.

I/WE STAND WITH UKRAINE. No bloody white flag.
