Pope Francis. despite his flaws, he consistently stood for the poor and advocated for those in need and those brutalized by war. he moved the Church into the 21st century against the tides. i pray someone who follows in his footsteps emerges from the conclave but i fear not

Howard Brenton's play PAUL - one of the great ignored 21st c. plays, I think - posits that Jesus survived the crucifixion, laid low, & reappeared in a political move to get Rome to stop killing people. In prison, St Paul & St James can choose to deny Jesus & save themselves or lie/die for good..
