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.
I can’t argue with that. JP2 is probably spinning in his grave.
Did you see that an old German bishop is asking for Francis to clarify his statement.
You know me … British etc. [Oh, I BOUGHT a Bobblehead last week at the FDR Library. THOUGHT of YOU. I might leave it to YOU in my will. Want to guess. FDR Library. So, no it wasn’t P12. Winston. Actually very cool. Have you visited Hyde Park, NY. My 1st P. Library. The FIRST and as such probably the SMALLEST. No planes hanging from the ceiling. Just one car.]
That it was a German bishop cracked me up (given my warped sense of humor). Well in my books if anyone is familiar with surrendering it has to be the Germans. LoL.
