Eternal and Just Lord, You raise up leaders in every age, and permit even flawed vessels to bear great weight.
Receive the soul of Your servant, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who walked a path both revered and contested, and whose words shaped many, though not all in peace.
In the quiet where truth stands uncloaked, may he now see clearly what once was dim.
Where zeal was misplaced, may Your mercy abound. Where compassion blurred boundaries, may Your justice now restore what was unsettled.
For those he shepherded, and those he unsettled— for every soul stirred by his charge— let Your will be done, and Your mercy prevail.
We entrust him to You, not with blind praise nor with hardened hearts, but with hope in Your eternal wisdom.
Amen.
Amen.
God grants dominion to demons, and there are places where the good cannot go.
This Obama Pope was long ago under the dominion of demons and he is never going to be in God’s Holy Presence or Heaven.
There is a special place in h3ll for those the people trust who work for Satan.
I am sure you heard the snarling and noises of the demons closing in on the Pope to carry away his Soul to their Dark Master, Satan.
Let the world forget he existed and a decent shepherd lead the church he tried to destroy. May better days come for an injured institution.
This should be good!
He played the game well enough to become pope.
Loves to hear himself talk I guess. Has he been listening to Camel la?
Why would anyone waste one minute praying for Francis the Fake Pope?
Because as followers of Christ we are called to pray for other sinners, not just ourselves.
“Because as followers of Christ we are called to pray for other sinners, not just ourselves.” I think you are right, but after they’re dead...I don’t know, it’s how they lived their lives and that’s between them and the Creator.
I prayed often for him while there was time. Not just for his own benefit, but mostly for the benefit of those he was leading into perdition, if there were any.
Now, I hope he accepted Jesus Christ before he died, I hope he repented his sins. Nothing more we can do but pray for ourselves and the living while there is time.
Must be difficult when you become a Prince of this world with enormous power and privilege, to remember you are not a god.
So poignant that Vice President Vance was with the pope just before his passing. Vance is layperson, but still very much a representative of this new generation of Catholics. A passing of the torch. Blessings.
It’s too late to pray for the Pope. I don’t know. I think it’s a big deal. And then I’m going to show you how to do that. I’m going to do that. And I’m going to be able to do that. I’m going to be able to get back to you.
I believe you.
Wait! You don't suppose . . .
A perfect petitiion for a complex individual.
