A short while ago, His Eminence, Cardinal Farrell, announced with sorrow the death of Pope Francis, with these words: “Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.

At 7:35 this morning (local time), the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church."

"He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalised."

Farrell adds: "With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.”

In case anyone needed reminding how vile Republicans are.

Republicans are evil yes, but so is the catholic church. You know, that organisation that systemically supresses evidence and protects its pedo priests from prosecution. I will not weep for the death of such people.

My Mom said to say nothing at all.

Protecting pedophile priests is the least of the Catholic Church shameful and/or illegal activity.

Their nuns murdered countless babies from unwed mothers in several countries. The Catholic Church are anything but pro life the pack of hypocritical fu**s!

Absolute criminal organisation!

I assume this was a typo and you meant to say "rot" in peace, no?

Not only that, but they also were the fierce promoter of the systematic extermination of people of the orthodox faith in the Balkans during WW2.

They had members of the clergy who fanatically participated with the killings in the various death camps.

I shan't speak ill of an old man passing, but my disdain for the organised crime ring which he was the current leader remains.
