That is, are you praying for me or against me? It’s a jocular way of acknowledging that Francis understands he tends to be a lightning rod, stirring both passion and outrage.

It's all a joke to Bergoglio.

Sounds like someone who doesn’t take his job seriously.

Has there been a thinner-skinned pope in modern times? Granted, that there’s a grain to truth to his “everybody hates me” shtick (and he’s hated for good reasons), but it diminishes the office for him to whine about it even in jest.

I pray for his death sooner rather than later, from natural causes, of course. He’s a cancer to my church and he can’t be gone a day too soon. Kicking off between now and October will at least delay, if not short circuit, the disastrous planned synod

Pray that he truly finds Jesus and rights the wrongs he’s done.
