Meeting JD Vance must be what pushed him over the edge

He didn't meet Vance though.

Gotta hurt poor Vance that one of the Pope's last acts on earth was to reject him. šŸ˜‚

I heard JD murdered the Pope, why would he do that? I'm just asking questions

dhork@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

I heard that when they told the Pope that he had to talk to JD Vance, he said "Now that's the last person I want to see....'

I’m not religious at all, but he seemed like a decent enough dude.

Put him in a tomb for three days, let's see what happens.

Really? Out of all the options for posting the article about Pope Francis you went with NY Post?

I mean . . . is that some kind of slight?

corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

slight

sleight?

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

no, slight.

: to treat with disdain or indifference

slight a guest

I didn't really give it much thought. I just posted the first article I saw. I only hope the Catholic Church can find a replacement as good as Francis. I respected Pope Francis.

Fair enough, then.

NY post needs to hire some copy editors. That article does not flow at all.

barnaclebutt@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y

To be fair, its readership can barely read.

Probably the only newspaper in the world that didn't have this article already written down and refined over the last few years.

We are gonna get anew pope before GTA VI.

Boy asks Pope if his atheist father is in heaven.

Humility, patience, kindness, grace, and rationality. Would that we should have more leaders like him in the future.

He was a good man.
