Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.

At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:

"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."

It’s a bit warmer where he’s headed.

That means the Catholics will be blowing smoke again pretty soon.

If they bring in a conservative pope, I might just start going to mass again.

1. He was in favor of the COVID-19 jab.

2. He advocated for the LGBTWTF freaks.

3. He was a globalist.

He also discredited sexual abuse victims and supported the bishop that abused them. And he supported mass immigration into White countries and criticized Trump for building a wall.

Changing the narrative just a bit, if you look back in history between the dates of 4/15 to 4/22 basically one week, a large number of events take place that turn out to be big stories.

This week we had the Florida State Shooting and now a Pope has died in the span of just a few days.

Throw in other events like the Columbine Shooting, Va Tech Shooting, Branch Dividians getting burned alive, Oklahoma City Building Bombing, etc. and it’s all pretty strange.

His pontificate certainly looked bad from our end, but only God knows for sure anyone’s final destination.

He was more concerned with Social Engineering than anything else. The World and the Catholic Church is a better place today.

...I totally agree with you, although I never stopped going to Mass...this man was NOT a “man of God”...he tolerated all kinds of perversions and if I recall, even within the sacred walls of the Vatican (I remember reading something years ago about a “lavender mafia” faction within the Papal offices, or something along those lines)....let’s hope the next Pope will be conservative (maybe he can lend support to the Latin mass, something this now-departed Pope did not, if I recall....)

The Church needs Vigano as his replacement.

This Pope was a disgrace to the Catholic Church I attended Catholic school K-12, the coverup of the priest child molesters was the start of losing my Catholic faith this commie Pope put the icing on the cake, Catholic charities being a main partner in the invasion of this nation put the cherry on the icing!! I am a FIRM believer in God, the Catholic faith not so much anymore!!!

I was reading Nostradamus predictions and he said the next pope would be black.

I looked at the people they are considering and sure enough there is one.

I guess we will see
