I'm not a Christian, let alone a Catholic, but he was a good man.

In the maga tradition: JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE!

-------------------------
I was right.

Agreed, this pope was a good man.
May he rest in peace.

And apparently he and his staff schooled Vance both before the meeting and in his Easter address.

Of course, the Vance people forget to mention that part but it is being reported by other agencies that report on the pope's activities.

Did Vance Novichok the Pope?

Vance is probably very happy that the Pope is gone. It could not have been easy for JD when he came up with his version of Catholic MAGA nationalism, only to have the Pope himself actually respond, tell him he was very mistaken, show him where he was mistaken and then correct him on that same social media the JD uses so damn much.

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

In the Popes Way of the Cross on Friday:
"Today's builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of hell," he wrote. "God's economy, on the other hand, does not kill, discard or crush. It is lowly, faithful to the earth."

So yeah...

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian."

"The act of deporting people who in many cases have left their own land for reasons of extreme poverty, insecurity, exploitation, persecution or serious deterioration of the environment, damages the dignity of many men and women, and of entire families, and places them in a state of particular vulnerability and defenselessness" Feb 2025

I would imagine that all the stuffed robes in Vatican City will be very happy to replace Francis with a much more conservative Pope.
