Do not give this monster an ounce of grace he was still head of the largest child sex trafficking conglomerate in the world AND defended clergy accused of committing these atrocities and helping to cover them up. They are all complicit. Never forget that.
A great and thoughtful man. The question now, of course, is whether the Catholic church will continue along his open and welcoming path, or move back toward a more doctrinaire and conformance place. Big moment for Catholics around the world.
i thin there's actually some pretty positive signs there... Francis made a lot of changes in the church. man was like friggin dynamite. there's genuinely a positive outlook right now because of his legacy being so undeniably strong.
Weak speeches do not replace anything. Rhetoric needs to be recaptured, & the mission clear. Don't be afraid of stupid labels, name calling, & anything that substitutes for substance. Rebuke abuse of concepts like inclusion, and speak directly. People will hear. See AOC and Bernie's recent speeches.
His new home is unbearably hot and he’ll be there for eternity, but that’s the price for lying about Christianity and mocking God and while claiming to serve him.
Lets call it what it is Monetary Privilege. People tend not to know how much this affects people: The best person for the job my not be hired because they have a low or no credit score.. you can be denied Housing because of a credit score even if you can afford the rent...
It seems so obvious, but the US "faith" people like Taser Greene find Pope Francis too "woke".
Pope Francis was a true Christian as opposed to malicious, opportunistic imposters like the MAGAs.
I've been agnostic/atheist since the time I was 10 years old. Going to Catholic school made me an atheist, meeting kind people made me agnostic.
I lived in Argentina for 5 yrs & know for a fact that this Franciscan Pope was different. He would visit the slums habitually. Francis walked the walk.
Some notable heartfelt televised funerals since 2018, were memorable to me in an era of dark Trumpism & MAGA in the news hourly; Barbara Bush, George Bush, John McCain, The Queen, Rosalind Carter, Jimmy Carter, Pope Francis.
The generations slightly before DJT, were good humans at their core.
The Catholic Church has utterly failed. One of the largest Christian nations the US is a hatful, cruel, racist country. When they elected that racist orange clown they set in motion hateful cruel actions.
Ironic of that he himself sat upon a golden throne that, if sold & melted down, could provide housing to many of the people he's referring to. The church has always been a den of hypocrisy & here is another example: They keep great wealth to themselves & decry the treatment of the poor by others
Yeah sell the Vatican art collection to help the poor. Your church gives pensions to pedophiles. Your priests buttreamimg 7 yr old boys should be a bigger headline than a 2 point shift in the DJIA. Glad you are dead hypocrite. Glad Trump was front row for your funeral the rapist fits right on.
And yet so many people who need to hear his words scorn him as a “liberal”. They wouldn’t listen to Jesus either because He and the pope spoke the same language.
Padre, you did your best to wake up the masses and we heard what you said but the powers that be could care two shits about what is really important. That bit about threading a camel through the eye of a needle just goes right over their heads. It is all about power and money that is their religion.
Inclusion. That’s the ticket! One of the things that always bothered me about criminal law was that so many minor offenders were excluded from society. Those people will continue 2 b a problem. If u include them & help them work within the system, they may prosper. Or at least, cease 2 b a problem.
Without financing for years by the Catholic Church, Roe v Wade would not have been overturned. And sadly centrist Democrats and catholic woman are cheering their dead leader while they still spend to deny abortion at the state level.
The official position of 60% of the Republican Party is that the poor and hungry are unworthy, and have only themselves to blame. The other 30% blame pet-eating immigrants.
He sure brought the Catholic church up to date on priest molestations. And many other steps in the right direction, when it comes to preaching what Jesus preached.
Life in a wheelchair isn’t always easy, but I’m determined to keep moving forward. I’m fundraising for an enclosed mobility scooter to stay active, independent, and connected.

Trump should never have been allowed near Pope Francis’ funeral. It’s an offense and an insult to this wonderful holy man who disdained everything Trump is and represents.

Nice sentiments, and I agree with them on principle. The fact that they were said by the man sitting atop the greatest amount of wealth in the world, and his followers don't see the hypocrisy, makes them meaningless.
People say he was too progressive but he followed the path that Jesus instructed us to walk.
We have these "conservatives" and you know what they say. There's no love like Christian hate.
Orange and First hoochie looked out of place. He wasn't sure footed going down the steps. She was dressed like it was Halloween and she was Jackie O. funeral fashion. It was obviously an uncomfortable moment for everyone but Orange. Macron especially seemed disgusted by Orange's presence.
What about his stance on abortion?Making it a "sin", rather than a health issue, led to the suffering/death of countless women who couldn't or wouldn't access their right to a safe abortion.His indifference to & contempt of women was deplorable.The personification if Patrarchy. #Pope
His message is so different from some of the 'born-again' preachers that seem to preach 'give me money and God will reward you many times'! Jesus said, 'Leave all behind and follow me'? 'Feed the hungry; heal the sick; love'? Why does the Christian Right find that so hard?
FWIW, I believe he tried to make up for the mistakes of his earlier life. This is an example of someone who worked for betterment later in life. Trump is an example of the opposite. Evil, deliberate destruction with no constructive purpose. He does not care, never makes up for any prior action.
Diaper Donald does it again! Embarrassed America, Melania and Himself to the World. Wore a Blue Suit to the Pope's Funeral. I guess Donnie's Black Suit was too stained by Urine & Diarrhea to be worn. Need to find a better and faster Dry Cleaner, Dumb Donald. Next time show Etiquette and respect😣💩🙈!
DJT,...Loopholes for a 3rd Term,??...no,no, No! More like Diaper Donald Poop-holes! He's going to try and pull a Putin. Trump is so unoriginal! Run as a Vice President in 2028, then have his Presidential running mate quit. Not going to happen. Your Fast Food Funeral will happen before 2027. DJT😵🤢🤮
Well. For 78m Americans who voted. Owning the libs and trusting a felon, rapist, and grifter to lower grocery prices were much more important. Unfortunately.
I am Catholic and haven’t been to mass since my Godmom passed. I can drop to my knees & pray at home.

your a christian you hold up capitalism, the church is worth billions, it has vast amounts of land, shut the fuck up and may you be burning in hell you believed in
The most wealthy ARE the problem. They are hoarding the money that would make the difference in everyone else’s lives. No one needs more than $10,000,000. Greed is the only reason this is complicated.
Why the AF did we hardly ever see any of these quotes from #Pope #Francis while he was alive? Was I just reading the wrong papers? Did the #MSM bury this stuff for fear of offending #LeonardLeo? Did right-wing #Vatican officials downplay it? Or did Francis?
World wide,it's the rich greedy bastards that are the main problem. The time bomb for humanity was started at the beginning of the industrial age. Pollution of Air,land,and waters, was not of any concern. Only making money and achieving greater power was the only goal..
This man was the head of a world wide system of dominance, judgement, money, oppression and exclusion with a bloody history. Don't make Christianity out to be 'good'. It's revolting.

PERIOD
"Don't talk about Woke or Oligarchy"
While people are quoting the "Woke" Pope should cause these Neo-Liberal (conservative) Democrats to rethink their Strategy.
But I'm sure it won't.

"Who am I to judge?"
And took his name Francis for a reason.
Due Process
Such an admirable Christian.
