VATICAN CITY — Joining the groups of outspoken activists who attach themselves to prominent works of art, Pope Francis has glued himself to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to protest climate change.
“We must stop climate change now!” the 86-year-old pontiff said as he hung precariously from the ceiling that features priceless paintings by famed artist Michelangelo. “There is no greater danger to all of God’s children than the threat of the temperature of the earth rising slightly and causing inclement weather. All other issues around the world pale in comparison to this.”
Tourists looked on in confused astonishment as they witnessed the Pope himself enter the Sistine Chapel while carrying an extension ladder. “We thought it was an impersonator or something,” said American tourist William Moody. “But no, it’s really him. He just calmly walked into the center of the chapel, set up the ladder, and climbed up to the ceiling. We were all glad he had some shorts on under those robes.”

Leave him 😂
I concur.
“Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool nowhere but in his own house.” (Hamlet)
The Bee scores again. 😂
After viewing the second clip I’m reminded of the importance of sacred music and sacred art.
Without it, the soul is grounded.
One of the biggest failures from post v-2 was the introduction of modern architecture, no spires pointing to our target. Removal of family members who earned the title of Saint, and repositioning of tabernacles…in some cases off the altar entirely.
In some ways, the failure of the sixties and it’s horrific loss of religious vocations, is denied by those old religious men who only see God’s will in their own will. God would not want less vocations to the religious life. Less attendees at Holy Mass.
Less adoration. Less evangelizing efforts from the parishioners. A wounded church is what was the result from poor V-2 understanding and implementation.
The resurgence of vocations to religious life will continue as God calls these new straight men to His priesthood. TLM has helped. It will continue to help despite any attempts to crush it.
For a minute there I thought someone painted over it. Good one BB
Why does anyone expect normal from Pope Francis?
