The Pope’s clock: https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/293316631/Broken-clock
These occasions are rare. I propose a toast:
“ To Pope Francis…”
“Even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut.”
Blind Squirrel Peanut Butter Whiskey…
(now don’t worry there’s no chance of overindulging, these occasions are so rare, you could still be thought of as a teetotaler.)
Off topic a bit here, but I can’t help recalling, whenever I happen to see the AmerikaMag crowd gushing over their Bestest Pope EVAH, (“BPE” for short), how they spent the previous 35 years or so. They rarely missed a chance to complain about how awful it was that those bad “conservatives” placed so much weight on what the Pope said or did on this or that issue. Now that their BPE occupies the Chair, of course, the Pope can do no wrong, especially when he is presiding over the destruction of the traditional Faith.
Back on topic, perhaps this is evidence that, unlike yours truly, the Holy Spirit hasn’t given up on this Pope just yet. I know I should follow that example. Work in progress.
The Holy Spirit kicked him in the pants.
Good for him. How sad we are at a stage in time where we hold our breath wondering everytime the Pope makes a comment on Church teaching. Mediocrity is tiring.
“Mediocrity is tiring.”
Excellent diagnosis, Ezabelle, thanks. I plan to plagiarize it shamelessly.
Go for it Frank. We have such an uninspiring Pontificate. God Bless
