88 years old. He had one last Easter in him.

This is coming from a catholic: Fuck him

JD Vance killed him; their meeting yesterday was about the last thing the pope did.

I realize whatever media you consume can make you love or hate anybody, but the pope hating crowd is one of the most hilarious.

Huh Scotti?

I always viewed Pope Francis as kind of like the Jesuit version of a disruptor CEO...think Patagonia meets Vatican. He’s wasn't flashy, didn't wear the red Prada loafers like his predecessor, and was all about humility, inclusion, and rethinking legacy institutions. Honestly, if the Catholic Church had a rebrand on LinkedIn, Francis would have been the driving force behind it: “Pope Francis – Leading Global Transformation, Centered on Equity, Climate Responsibility, and Modern Morality.”

To the upwardly mobile urban professional who sips on single-origin coffee while doomscrolling The Atlantic, Francis wasn't just a religious figure—he’s was a vibe. He talked about climate change (Laudato Si’ basically reads like a papal TED Talk on sustainability), criticized unfettered capitalism (which, awkwardly, makes you question your Vanguard ESG fund), and showered empathy toward LGBTQ+ individuals and immigrants. He felt like someone who would ride the subway and actually mean it. He was the kind of Pope you'd expect to show up at Davos, but instead of networking, he'd call out the hypocrisy, then walk out and have lunch with refugees.

C'mon Peter Turkson!

I'm really thinking it's time for a woman pope.

He did ride the subway.

And he meant it.

The entirety of his papacy was centered on Love and Mercy.

The “fuck him” crowd is really hard to understand.

Uh, no…it’s pretty simple. We don’t want our nice countries turned into third world slums by an unrelenting horde of illiterate, retarded, obese “economic refugees”.

Then you, yourself, offer the immigrant something more than your racism, ignorance and stupidity.

Pretty simple.

JD Vance is the new David Spada.

That's so 2000's. It's time for a non-binary pope.

He was a globalist, a communist, and a pagan.

Believe what you want to believe, but he was not a man of God.

Yup, the guy that railed about too much money being in the hands of too few was absolutely a globalist.

I'm amazed that "globalist" was the description to which you objected when "pagan" was right there for you.

Please explain how he was not a "man of God"?
