Pope Francis: Vanity is osteoporosis of the soul

The vanity that makes us swell up. The vanity that does not have long life, because it is like a soap bubble.

This statement is hilarious, considering it came from the same Humble Jorge who declared, "Look, I wrote an encyclical—true enough, it was by four hands [with Benedict XVI]—and an apostolic exhortation. I’m constantly making statements, giving homilies. That’s magisterium. That’s what I think, not what the media say that I think. Check it out; it’s very clear."

Yes, No, I Don’t Know, You Figure It Out. The Fluid Magisterium of Pope Francis

[ebb tide]

Pope Francis to Archbishop Bruno, the internal traitor of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, which Francis proceeded to destroy:

“If we talk explicitly about communion for the divorced and remarried, you have no idea what a mess these guys will make for us. So let’s not talk about it directly, you get the premises in place and then I will draw the conclusions.”

Yet Francis encourages young people to "go out and make a mess."

FINALLY!

Something I can agree with .

There is no end to the vapid pablum this guy spews. Talk about having a puffed-up sense of self-importance.

[miss marmelstein]

He’s got it of the brain.

[T-Bone Texan]

On an unrelated note, arteriosclerosis is the pabulum of the toe, or something.

All I know is the Red Pope has spoken, and thus the elites have spoken.

[Leep]

Where is that in the Bible? Or maybe it’s Shakespeare?

Not only that, but anxiety is largely a medical condition whose roots are trauma.

Oddly specific.

[ebb tide]

I think somebody gave Pope Francis his first thesaurus.

Check out Francis’ Little Book of Insults.

[piusv]

Is he judging??? LOL

[BlatherNaut]

It’s like con men who “mark the cards” in order to win, the Pope continued.

And Popes who stack synods in order to win.

[RetSignman]

If vanity is the osteoporosis of the soul, this Marxist Pope’s soul would be so heavy with the stuff, it couldn’t be lifted up when he croaks.

[BipolarBob]

I was told I had vanity but I knew it to be a lie because I'm perfect.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

So pathetic, to compare the greatest of the deadly sins, the great sin of Lucifer himself, that still today causes endless endless death and suffering, and is the very foundation of socialism and communism; with an uncomfortable human malady.

Other sins and their related diseases:

Greed - The heartbreak of psoriasis

Lust - Excessive flatulence

Envy - Hemorrhoids

Gluttony - Constipation

Anger - Heartburn

Sloth - Insomnia

I should note that some of the prognosticators of the past have suggested that this might be the last Pope. But none of them ever went into great detail as to why. I think we may finally have an inkling.

[Rashputin]

Taking great pride in one's own humility is by far and away one of the most egregious examples of Vanity.

I suggest Francis try that shoe on because I'm sure it fits.

Is the Herod that killed John the Baptist the same Herod that was in power at the time of the Crucifixion?

[Rashputin]

Ah, riding his shoebox.
