If only this guy would stay in his lane. Is that too much to ask?
Sorry for the triple. Impatient. 🙄
As an Catholic who no longer practices because of this Pope and the prior one, i am glad to see this...with all the problems Paris and France has had with muslim illegals, this is good to see...
Now lets see if they are smart enough to finish the deal and vote for Marine Le Pen next year...
“On December 1, 2023, during her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift performed a free public concert at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. While the official stadium capacity was 80,000, police estimated around 1.2 million people were present, including fans who spilled into the surrounding streets, hills, and rooftops.”

“The largest verified outdoor crowd for a single music performer is Rod Stewart’s 1994 New Year’s Eve concert at Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with an official Guinness-recognized attendance of about 3.5 million people.”
Officially recognized by Guinness as the largest free rock concert attendance in history.
Pope Leo XIV: Something to try for. I’ll get ‘em next time.

This forum has been running at about 60% speed for some time now.
glad to see its not my computer...
Gay pride month there?
Yup. I need to pause and not demand instant action. 😁👍🇺🇸
It saddens me to see Catholics leave Jesus because of Judas, especially as they separate themselves from the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, which can be found nowhere else.
Sheep. And not in a good way. Young people are so stupid these days.
Left Jesus??? Why- because i am no longer a practicing Catholic?? How do you know i “left Jesus”? Because i no longer go to Catholic mass?
I learned long ago, in Catholic school as a matter of fact (I went to Catholic school for 17 years), that its not necessary to practice Catholicism to be close to Christ...while i was a devout practicing Catholic for almost 60 years- i never thought everything the Catholic church preached was right....
But your comment is emblematic of what i always believed- to many, its about Catholicism, not Jesus Christ...
I think anything that brings the younger generation to Christianity is great.
The Pope is fine if he won't get involved in politics.
It should be simple enough. On questions such as the war in Ukraine, he'll say he'll pray for peace to end the war. Seems easy enough to do.
Calling them to join islam?
I’ve noticed a delay in pages loading/refreshing....and a lot of double posts.
