LOL. That’s always funny to see people make a comment “who cares”.

Funny but also sad that some adults can be so childish.

There are 1.2 billion Catholics around the world who care, whether they like this particular pope or not.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Like him or despise him the fact is there are probably no more than three or four individuals on the planet with whom as many as 1.2 billion people are institutionally identified.

I wonder how many in the leftist propaganda press will mock Melania based on this ridiculous sounding description of a “hat“. It was not a hat. It was a mantilla, a traditional lace veil worn in Catholic churches. It was a most appropriate article of clothing for a funeral.

Never underestimate the ignorance of the average “presstitute”!

People who haven’t traveled around Europe are usually surprised to learn that pickup trucks are virtually nonexistent throughout Europe. Not sure why that is, but probably a combination of factors such as gas prices and other expenses, high volume city traffic, limited parking space, etc. Even out in the boonies one rarely sees a pickup!

I recorded it all and watched it all.

The number attending was impressive, BUT it was a Jubilee Year.

Finnerty, to my amazement, praised AOC for drawing large crowds???? There was an event years ago, similar to “Woodstock” on the East Coast ...it was called “Coachella” on the West Coast. (I never heard of it either) and AOC was about the 103rd person to appear at the Coachella event.
Never heard of most of the entertainment either.

BUT I DOUBT IF THEY WERE THERE FOR HER...AOC.

Back to Francis’ funeral. There were many people there mostly all respectful, except...there was NOT ONE TEAR.

Sorry, but Mother Teresa, Pope Benidict, and the REALLY BELOVED SAINT JOHN PAUL ALL deserved and got tearful goodbyes.

May Francis rest in peace. That’s all I have.

Perhaps you already know this (I attend the SSPX TLM), the novus ordo, even if said in Latin, is totally different from the “real” Latin mass, the usus antiquior.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Due to the suppression of the The Tridentine Mass, and the absence of the SSPX or other Latin Mass societies anywhere close, I’ve moved on to an Old Calendar Orthodox Church where the Divine Liturgy is available only 40 minutes from my home. I’m comfortable with that transition knowing of the Orthodox connection to Antioch, one of the three original Apostolic Sees of the First Century, and where the followers of Jesus were first referred to as Christians (Acts 11:24?).

You mean the funeral of the pure evil, anti pope Jorge. I cannot wait until that evil is gone from daily news.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Satan’s Pope, Jorge was assigned the task of finalizing the destruction of the Church founded 2000 years ago by Jesus Christ (One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic). That destruction commenced on October 1, 1962 at the Second Vatican Council. In its place we now have what Abp LeFebvre correctly referred to as the Conciliar Church. Meanwhile the remnant of the Catholic Church has been driven down into the modern day equivalent of the catacombs.

Other than possibly being the worst president we ever had, what would make Joe Biden “prominent”?

If one has ever driven in a German city it would be obvious why full sized US pickups are uncommon. Not enough roadway to drive and few parking spots big enough.

If the parking spaces are tiny there, perhaps they should consider getting one of these babies.


     


(If they still have difficulty parking it, they can just pick it up, and gently lay it in the tiny parking space.)

I’ve drive numerous times all over Europe. Just last year I drove through Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland and Deutschland in Bavaria to the Ocktober Fest. And the fact is there are many commercial trucks, Limos, farm combines etc. larger than full-size pickups running all over Europe with no problem. And as for parking I see no difference in Berlin and Frankfurt than in New York and LA.
