Meets JD Vance, dies of cringe. Many such cases!

Transgender gender "ideology" is as dangerous as a nuclear bomb according to the pope yet JD Vance meets the pope and he dies the following day? Concerning!

???

The vice president had a formal meeting with Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin on April 19, and returned on April 20 for a brief interaction with the Pope. Photos taken by the Vatican and shared by the White House showed a smiling Vance seated across from Francis, who was in a wheelchair.

My mistake.

I thought he only met with the cardinal based on the 400 articles posted here about it Sat/Sun

Well, they shouldn't mourn the wicked at least. I still remember when people mourned Mother Teresa's death.

The fact that she didn't die in her own death house shows how much she actually believed in her cause.

Broke: "Don't disrespect him he was progressive for a Catholic!"

Woke: The entire Catholic religion, like most other Abrahamic religions, is more than two thousand years backwards. Being progressive for a Catholic is an oxymoron like being cool for lava.

Also, assuming Catholicism is real, he's going to heaven right? So he won't mind if all of us clown on him right?

Pope Francis was a great pope.

He removed the necessity to get authorization from the Vatican in sexual abuse cases.

Allowed some women to vote in the Synod of Bishops.

Took a stance against death penalties.

Apologised for Catholic Church actions against indigenous Canadians.

Generally whenever he took a stance it was the morally right one.

The Catholic Church is still corrupt but Pope Francis was a great man.
