How very "Christian" of you. Well, perhaps you aren't a Christian, so pardon my assumption. Christians usually don't HOPE for anyone's death. That's God's call.

Well that's fine, because Francis isn't Christian either

And YOU have appointed yourself as Pope Francis' judge? Wow. You MUST consider yourself a god or something, being able to judge a person's soul and faith...especially of a man you don't know.
I prefer to let our good Lord judge him, me and you.

Seven deadly sins:

1. PRIDE (hubristic type)
2. ANGER (the inordinate kind)

3. greed
4. lust
5. malicious envy
6. gluttony
7. sloth
These, OF COURSE, were classified by the early CATHOLIC CHURCH.

There are also a number of sets of virtues, including:
The Seven Contrary Virtues which are specific opposites to the Seven Deadly Sins:
1. Humility against pride
2. Kindness against envy
3. Abstinence against gluttony
4. Chastity against lust
5. Patience against anger
6. Liberality against greed
7. Diligence against sloth.

In the Catholic catechism, the seven Christian virtues or heavenly virtues, refer to the union of two sets of virtues: the four cardinal virtues, from ancient Greek philosophy, are prudence, justice, temperance (meaning restriction or restraint), and courage (or fortitude); and the three theological virtues, from the letters of Saint Paul of Tarsus, are faith, hope, and charity (or love).
These were adopted by the Catholic Church Fathers as the seven virtues.

Pax vobis, fratrem.

Sentimental glop.

There is no reason that Christians cannot hope, and PRAY, for the death of an evildoer in high office. They’ve been doing it for 2,000 years, and the Jews have been doing it longer than that.

What is generally the prerogative of God alone is the KILLING of evildoers in high office.
