>>Did you even mention jesus you self?<<

Well, I did say to myself “Jesus Christ these Pope haters are both mean and fools!”

Since you wish to continue to be the fool, here is the Good Pope’s speech (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1303/13/se.01.html):
He begins with The Lord’s Prayer — Jesus’ most impassioned prayer He left with us. When we repeat it, we are walking in Jesus’ footsteps. There is no more important reference to Him than that prayer.

I’ll try to help you and I may not be as kind as His Holiness:

>>POPE FRANCIS I (through translator): Let us pray, all of us together, for him so that he is blessed by the lord and guarded by the Madonna.

Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

In the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit.

For the fools in the audience who don’t read Latin (or can derive it from Spanish) and thus assume all non-English talk is gobbledygook and thus bereft of references to Jesus, this is the LORD’S PRAYER. Jesus is spoken about through the term “The Lord.” But because God knew there would be fools and simpletons, he actually uses the name “Jesus” in this prayer. Our God is a kind God (and more forgiving than us who reside in the flesh).

Moving on...

>>As (INAUDIBLE) shall remain for centuries and centuries. Let us begin this journey together, the successor and the people. And this journey for the Roman Catholic Church, it is a journey of friendship, of love, of trust, and faith between us. Let us pray always for one another. Let us pray for the whole world, because let us have a big brotherhood. I wish that this journey for the church that we are going to start today, and my vicar cardinal is going to help me — let’s hope that this journey bears fruit for the evangelizing from this beautiful city.

OK, you win this round. No specific mention of Jesus. Just the brotherhood that Jesus advocated. What an EVIL idea!

>>(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

POPE FRANCIS I (through translator): I would like to offer you my blessing, but I would like to ask a favor first, first that — before the bishop, bless the people.

I would like to pray for the lord, so that the prayer of the people blesses also the new pontiff.

Let us pray in silence your prayer to me.

Um, fool, Lord=Jesus (already referenced from the beginning).

More now...

>>
POPE FRANCIS I (through translator): Now my blessing to you and to the whole world, to all the men and women goodwill. And may the blessing of all almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit descend on you, and remain with you always. Amen.<<

The Son. Do you think the Pope spoke of Bart Simpson?

He speaks of and about Jesus. And the new Pope prays for all of us, fools alike.

I suggest you pray, reflect and perhaps send a prayerful apology to the new pope. You are wrong on facts, on theology and on our spirit.

I pinged Sal and NYer because they might be able to help you in a more gentle way.

The Pope is the latest in a line that runs unbroken directly back to Petros: “Upon this Rock I shall build my Church.”

Pope Francis I spoke of and about Jesus. Those who can hear and read know so.

Please forgive more hitting you with a metal gauntlet. But it was your request.

Bless you and God bless and guide Pope Francis I (If you are interested, I can give some background on that fascinating name).
