"I can't fucking wait until Jeff Bezos is born. Fucking Love that guy." - Jesus, presumably.

"That bread and fishes thing? I charged entry." - also Jesus.

American Fascists celebrating the death of the Pope, wonder how American Catholics feel about that one? Ambivalent? Angry?

There once was a Pope named Francis,
Championing a cause with great emphasis.
He spoke of the Earth's plight,
Urging all to do what's right,
A global leader on climate, he's prestigious.

Marc Chagall's painting, White Crucifixion, was Pope Francis's favorite. "Pain is depicted there with serenity," said the late pontiff of the 1938 work, which was created in reaction to Nazi crimes against Jews. Forward examines how Francis' experiences under military dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s may have led to his love for the painting, which culture editor Talya Zax says shows, "there is a kind of fragile peace to be found in the act of surviving what might seem unsurvivable." Zax concludes: "He understood, very well, the violence of the world he was about to leave. And he understood, like Chagall, that any experience of peace within that world was something to strive for — not something guaranteed."

How accurate is the Oscar-winning movie "Conclave" about the selection of a new pope? @npr asked experts on Catholicism and film what it gets right and wrong.

#BreakingNews
#PopeFrancis died on Monday morning, at the age of 88.

I'm not #Catholic , but I think it's ironic that his last official diplomatic act was meeting with #JDVance-- an American Nazi and a Fascist, someone who will never repent of his countless human rights violations, and who has been MISleading a vast number of "Evangelicals" into hate and anti-Christian ideology.

I hope the media now begins to focus on Francis' pro-human rights and pro-immigrant messages, and that his successor continues to call for compassion and justice for the poorest and most persecuted people of the world.

Now, more than ever, the Christian faith (Catholic & Protestant) needs leadership who will take Christians on a path of love and acceptance, instead of fear and hate.
