Francis, “I Don’t Go To The Doctor But To The Witch”
During Pope Francis' flight to Chile on January 15, Cristiana Caricato of the Italian Bishops' TV 2000 asked Francis, what medicines he takes to keep fit during his travels.
He replied, “I don't go to the doctor, I go to the witch.”
Franca Giansoldati of Il Messaggero asked him if he is afraid of journalists and their questions.
Francis answered, "Yes, I am afraid of interviews... you can see what I need to do."

And he said, “Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang!”
(Musical sting) ... it’s raining face palms, whaaaaa?, it’s raining face palms, yikes!
It would be nice if there was a little context to this.
Well. I’m not sure exactly what he meant. But DESPITE the fact my doc is great — I’m always still thinking about witch doctors when I go see him ( or the dentist). Great docs, but I’m still afraid. Go figure, ha!! Maybe Francis has similar phobias?
There is never much “context” in Bergoglio’s plane interviews. He’s speaking his mind, not with the help of any aides.
But it’s always enough to scare any faithful Catholic.

It was a joke, but a very poorly chosen joke.
So true.
First joke I’ve seen from a pope about visiting witches.
Did you hear the one about Pope St Pius X seeking the services of a fortune teller?(/s).
If you struck the fifth and sixth words from your tag line, the remainder would fit this thread perfectly. The religion forum is pretty depressing tonight.

This is pretty much a perpetual state in the religion forum.
I’ve temporarily changed my tagline to take the heat off others Francis is stalking. Catch me if you can, Francis
“Many a truth is said in jest.” — Shakespeare.
Frankie is diabolical; it’s fitting he be treated by witches.
Speaking of Shakespeare, maybe we can be grateful that we don’t have Lady Macbeth as Pope?
“Whiskey, Tango, Francis.”
At this point, Lady Macbeth would be an improvement!
Maybe he can stop in Haiti for some voodoo sessions.
