Pope Francis Dies At 88

I’m not going to dance on his grave.

I understand that this is a sensitive moment for the Catholic Church.

The most respectful thing I can say about this is 1.) that I hope the next pope is more like Pope Benedict XVI than Pope Francis and 2.) that Catholics don’t have to defend Jorge Bergoglio anymore.

Axios:

“Pope Francis died on Easter Monday at age 88, the Vatican announced.

The big picture: Pope Francis pushed the Catholic Church to the left, which satisfied Catholics seeking modernization but dismayed traditionalists. …”

I’m also not going to sit here and claim that modern Lutheran leaders are any better. I have explained many times here that sadly our leaders are just as cucked as the Catholics.

Note: As Lutherans, we don’t have to think of Matt Harrison as the Holy Father. We don’t have to pretend that he is infallible or the Vicar of Christ on earth.
