Patti. The entire Papacy is fraud. Beginning to present. Man made nothing median about it. The popes show Masonic signs out in public. The Masonic Obelisk in St Peter’s revels unity among Masons. The Swiss Guards all trained in Switzerland and are Swiss citizens. The entire edifice is run out of Switzerland via Swiss Bank Authorities and Credit Suisse. All global banking including the Vatican Bank all roll up into Swiss governing institutions. The Papacy is fraudulent. Read its history. It’s disgusting. Make a grown man puke in horror. The recently deceased man was not holy. He’s not Christian. He’s pagan and will get a heathens welcome in hell, post judgment. Was he a “nice man”. As pedofiles go he had the best of everything. This next occupant of the blasphemous chair of the Vicar of Christ will be cast in the same mold. Regardless of nationality, race or gender.

Stay away.

What a contrast between this man and the one parading around the WH. Incredible. We need more honoring of decent humans. Less of the other.

I was born into Catholicism;Baptized, First Communion, Confirmation and… after my Paternal Grandmother died…all the lies and deceit spilled forth.

People my father believed to be truthful were complicit in guarding the secrets kept from my father about his true identity. He was not the son of the only father he had known, nor did his mother bear him.

Seems everyone knew this but my dad. The woman who birthed him was his maternal aunt. She made her claims after her sister’s passing and it was a shocking betrayal of my father’s trust in who any of those people were to him. My dad was deeply hurt at the lifetime he spent trying to make sense of those relationships; who else knew and when did they know ?

Trust. Truth. Time. All those things were lost to my dad and no one living would tell him the story; his Aunt Elizabeth…known as Aunt Gerry…was given a car, a fur coat, and not even the time of day for the remainder of their lives. He never got his answers; she never got his forgiveness.

Pope Francis was a good shepherd. When I’m ready, if it ever happens, I might be able to trust in a representative of God who values the truth.

Thanks Patti for assisting me to put some perspective on my thoughts of Pope Francis' death. Sometimes I admired him - especially his anti-materialism and how he appeared to live an austere, simplified, anti-pompous existence at the Vatican. At others times Francis pissed me off - because I thought he was capable or wanted to do so much more regarding the position of woman in the church and for GLBT+ rights etc.. Regardless, Pattie, you reminded he was human and as such, Pope or not, he was not perfect, but he used his position and whatever power he had in the Catholic church to assist the spiritual and material needs of his Christian flock.

I am not religious person - mostly anti-organized religions. I try to live my life with commonsense and with as much faith in the human condition as I can muster. I try not to have too many unrealistic expectations.
