Holy water: Congressman steals Pope Francis' glass
Daily Mail ^ | 9/25/15 | Chris Spargo

Posted on 09/26/2015 11:43:12 AM PDT by Old Yeller

A congressman stole the water glass Pope Francis was drinking out of during his address at the White House on Thursday. Representative Bob Brady, a devout Catholic and Democrat from Pennsylvania immediately made his way to the podium after Pope Francis finished speaking and grabbed the glass that was still filled with water. He then drank the water, gave some of the water to his wife Debra, and saved the rest for his grandchildren. Representative Brady took photos as well, and had his staff send them out to the press.

Wasn’t Francis “The Talking Mule?”

If that does not tell the story, I don’t know what does. I find this really disturbing - it’s very cult-like.

You can order them on the web...............

But to be fair, protestants do the same only we get free gifts or our name on a piece of furniture or brick.

I will say though there is a fine line between remembering, veneration and worship. You may call it one but it might be another..............

A tax payer provided glass is stolen containing water also paid for by the tax payer. Nothing Holy here...not even if the water contained the germ filled bacterial backwash from the popes mouth. Just another sleazy politician doing what they always do...stealing from the tax payer. Although, a glass with verified pope fingerprints would be valuable to a collector. That glass should be seized from the congressman.

In journalism, a “devout Catholic” is anyone with an Irish or Italian name who is breathing.

A loon who ALSO considers Obama’s leftover water to be “holy water,” and who has a 100% NARAL rating, is being used on this thread by the anti-Catholic bigots as an exemplar of “Catholic idolatry.”

Was Mr Eds horses name Francis or do I have him confused with Francis the talking mule?

Mister Ed was Wilbur post's horse. Francis was the talking mule, who made more sense than this talking pontiff that we've all been subjected to 24/7 for the last week.

No where do Catholics teach the Pope is divine, has special powers, or should be worshipped. He is a first among equal Bishops, and is a man, just as the rest of us are.

This is just silly.

Obviously a man who wants to be closer to God. So he steals, kills (supporting abortion), supports homo marriage, removal of Christianity from public, covets (via taxation), idol worship (pope but I’m not catholic) .....

I swear you couldn’t make up a more contradictory person / action. Hope he burns in hell but at least I know it’s not up to me.

They’re going to clone him and switch the pope when the Swiss guard is sleeping
