It happened to be a Jesuit Priest who interviewed me as was required for a non-Catholic about to marry a Catholic girl. This was in his office at their University at Santa Clara.

He was basically the Irish priest straight out of the old John Wayne movie about the American boxer who moves to Ireland... a cane. a dog, books crowding every shelf.

I was a young suit working there in the Valley, a little coked up, and he pegged me right away.

His first words to me as he leaned forward across his desk were, "The World is trying to do THIS to you"... and he shot me The Finger!

Of the top few candidates to become Pope now, one is already a Trump loyalist, and another is persuadable. Which fits the long held AC narrative that the character of the False Prophet who supports the AC is... a Pope

"As many of us have heard by now, today the Vatican announced the death of Pope Francis at 88 years of age. And as a sign of the times, the Vatican released the news on X.

The legacy of Pope Francis is unquestionably that he pushed the Catholic Church to the left in many ways, which did satisfy many Catholics seeking to modernize the church, but also angered traditionalists."

Passover, which he was celebrating shortly before he was interrupted by a passing Roman Crucifixion instigated by the Jewish leaders, was good enough timing for JC.

And after age 88, I hear that there's not a lot of resistance to leaving the flesh; especially when you believe that, "being absent from the flesh is being present with the Lord", as this Pope who actually advocated for brotherhood, love, peace, and treating other people better than they prolly deserved... and loving others better than yourself, ESPECIALLY immigrants and foreigners and strangers, did. (speaking of run on sentences!)

Not everyone does, nor perhaps should they, believe that.

- more traditional values.

Would be those of putting others interests above one's own, as in all the OT and the New. Especially when dealing with immigrants and foreigners.
