Iād be concerned for the Holy Father. Lot of miles on the clock and his current woes are going to be difficult to overcome. Light a candle there ladsā¦
Big Temu sale on white smoke currently they should be taking advantage of.
Been a great Pope, please God heāll pull through.
Why would anyone pray for that prick?
Because they believe in the catholic church would seem the obvious answer. Unless of course youre just asking the loaded question to create a stir about what is essentiall just an old.man being sick?
I urgeth thee to prayeth for all men - kings, priests and all in authority, including the mods"
St. Matthew
An old man being sick who has done sweet fuck all in relation to the never ending stream of victims of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, as well as making homophobic comments.
But hey - he uses a shitty Fiat to get around. Heās one of us.

My uncle and aunt died in such circumstances. My aunt passed away unexpectedly with no one with her.
My Dad died in a hospital bed as his lungs gave out.

For some reason Francis seem to have a backing by everyone to be a good man. Yet he has done nothing to address the hugely hypocritical and downright evil practices of that organisation since he came Pope. Maybe we should talk about the countless elderly priests and nuns passing away who are actually saint like - as opposed to the head of one of the most despicable organisations on the planet.
You know thatās not true though, why lie?
Here he comes.
You know it though surely. Otherwise youāre lying?
Youāre entitled to criticise himself and the Church, but very weird behaviour going mad over him being sick.
Sorry to hear of your bereavements but just to satisfy my curiosity relative to the last sentence - will the mini-farmers be abstaining from the 1st Holy Communion and Confirmation sacraments?
Iām not sure how that question takes away from the overall point that Iām making.

most despicable organisations on the planet.
youād hardly put the mini-Farmers into the hands of such an organisation?
