Should Pope Francis sell the family jewels?

A bit of reformist lip service on twitter and a shit album seemed to give some people the impression that he isn't the pope.

Yeah!

omg this story.

what what?

in the butt

I love how they have picked the most Up The Arse corner pictures of Pope Francis for this piece!

Cops raided the apartment in late June after neighbors voiced concern about multiple people acting strangely while streaming in and out of the residence, the newspaper reported Wednesday.

Once police were inside the apartment, they said they found multiple men engaged in rampant drug use and homosexual activity.

They then arrested the priest — an aide to one of Pope Francis’ key advisers — after taking him to a clinic to detox from the drugs he’d ingested.

The unnamed aide is now on a spiritual retreat in a convent in Italy, the paper said.

francis is pretty cool

inevitable casting, no?

Fernando Meirelles (City of God) will “direct an untitled film centered on the relationship between Pope Benedict and Pope Francis” for Netflix. “Benedict will be played by Anthony Hopkins and Francis will be played by Jonathan Pryce.”

Hannibal Lecter good choice for the Rottweiler, too

yay catholic fanfic

single-layer 'crowds' along most of the route today afaict

didn't stop rte livecasting it the entire day

this cunt can only dream of the crowds saint John Paul II could get, no twitter in them days but 8m ppl at York racecourse in '82!

his altar technique couldn't be fucked with!

nobody had the heart to tell him the 80k at croker were only there for daniel

this cunt can only dream of the crowds saint John Paul II could get, no twitter in them days but 8m ppl at York racecourse in '82!

There's not 8 million Catholics in England, let alone York Racecourse.

Are there even 8 million Englanders?

lol

John Paul II was pure evil, though. He was the Reagan of the modern papacy, standing by as hundreds of thousands of people died of AIDS. Francis is at least marginally better

sorry I meant to say 8 million homemade Welcome Pope JP II flags, a rumour was spreading around at the the time for every extra flag you brought to the gig, you get a year in purgatory knocked off .

It's hilarious how few left footers there are in England - it must be one of the Proddiest countries on Earth, and that's despite Manchester and Liverpool.

Francis is at least marginally better

it's quite a bit more than marginal.

Indeed, and not a Nazi too, which is always a bonus.

"it's quite a bit more than marginal."

yes agree

Speer was a marginally less bad Nazi, eh Jed?

my then-gf of six or so years cried all night when jpii popped em the relationship was doomed for many reasons at that point but it was another stark pointer tbh

than who? xp

People that are impressed by popes - whatever their fucking game is- make we really want to cry tbh!

"then cry all you want, I won't tell anybody"

I'm just being honest Jed, it genuinely depresses the fuck out of me, I'm not trying to be catholic edgelord here.

Cal, it's not something I'm invested in, hugely! It seems that Francis is a better man, by several orders of magnitude, than any other pope in living history and maybe ever.

but I'm absolutely open to being corrected.

I think John XXIII was also ok (for his time)

nick blinko is best pope

admittedly, a pretender

lol

Overdue for first Jewish pope imho

was listening to an amusing R4 report where some old Irish guy was at first complaining that after waiting for hours, Pope Franny's pope-mobile just whizzed past him in a few seconds and said he'd been told "he was going to be moving a bit slower than that". But then said "to see his smile made my day" and made it a completely worthwhile experience.

This 11 second video has made the pope's visit worthwhile. pic.twitter.com/BWzvb7SABr

what, peter doesn't count?

I agree with Jed.

I think this must be the best Pope ever.

The best video of 2019 arrived during the last minutes of 2019, maybe. #PopeFrancis #Pope #hand
