Francis by Patrick J. Marrin for January 19, 2023

The Russian patriarch picked up the Christofascists and used their example to give Putin a religous reason for evil. Aren’t we such a good example to the world? Snark!

The Patriarch is estranged from Christ.

Good luck with that.

I put Paul IV’s words in this context: “With Liberty and Justice for Some” isn’t good enough.

Peace – what a wonderful concept.

“Give peas a chance” — Old MacDonald

I’m sure Kyrill will have a peaceful week; he goes along with Putin, and that’s all that’s necessary.

The Ukrainians, of course, will have another week of terror raining down from the skies.

They have gotten the dog’s attention. Stay healthy my friends.

OT: Mr. Marrin, what is the object always on Pope Francis’ desk? A clock? A portrait or painting? A favourite quote?

Putin wishes to go down in history. Not evil enough as Mao, Stalin or Adolf. Probably share the same ring in hades as Mussolini.

The Pope passed out listening to that recorded message on all business lines you try to call now. All of our lines are currently experiencing greater than usual activity. Your call is very important to us please stay on the line and the next available operator will answer your call.

The Lord has told you, O man, what is good.

And what does the Lord require of you?

Only this: to do what is right, to show mercy,

and to walk humbly with your God.

Micah 6:8

Kyril is zero for three.
