Bergoglio is at his life’s journey’s end. It now resembles a candle with a weak flame trying to stay lit in a gusty wind. Should another breeze come along the flame could go out. However, Bergoglio has had time in these last days to reflect, repent, make amends with his creator and seek forgiveness. The choice is his alone to make.
You should ponder coming back to the Church.
Why are you reading the King James Bible?
King James is the church of England. Why give your alligence to King Charles? I suspect that you didn’t know what King James means.
Open your heart, ask Mary, ponder coming back to the Church. Most of the hippie priests have retired.
The truth is, a Pope is just another simple human elevated by other just simple humans.
All organized religions are a hot bed of hypocrisy.
I think you are taking my comment to a different thought.
When we pray to ask for something we pray for it to be answered within God’s will.
If you pray for a pony and it is what God wills, you get the pony, if not, no pony.
I would never take pleasure in the death of the evil pope. I would, however, take pleasure in reading of the pope”s obituary.
“I hope the next Pope would be more in tune with Pope Benedict than this Pope. Pope Benedict was a true intellectual and should not have been kicked out.”

I only hope the next Pope is in tune with God, not man or politics.
“Jesus told us to pray for our enemies. I pray for the Pope’s health in every respect— body mind and spirit, as consistent with God’s will. And that God may form him into the man and leader that He wants him to be.
As Christians, we know that Saul became Paul. We have hope and confidence in God’s ability to transform people.”

Jesus more directly told us to love our enemies, which seems to be conveniently forgotten by many who claim to be Christians.
Search it at gotquestions.org There’s a very good explanation there.
The lost don’t know they’re lost, until they are born again by the Holy Spirit. A dead man doesn’t know he’s dead.
I get it: Within God’s will.
Yes. You should pray for his conversion to Christ and that he is given the time to repent and make restitution.
Beautiful.
