>Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican said in a video statement on Monday, ending an often turbulent reign marked by division and tension as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution.
>He was 88, and had recently survived a serious bout of double pneumonia.

>"Dear brothers and sisters, it is with profound sadness I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis," Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced on the Vatican's TV channel.
>"At 7:35 this morning the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father."
>Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected pope on March 13, 2013, surprising many Church watchers who had seen the Argentine cleric, known for his concern for the poor, as an outsider.
>He sought to project simplicity into the grand role and never took possession of the ornate papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace used by his predecessors, saying he preferred to live in a community setting for his "psychological health".
>He inherited a Church that was under attack over a child sex abuse scandal and torn by infighting in the Vatican bureaucracy, and was elected with a clear mandate to restore order.
>But as his papacy progressed, he faced fierce criticism from conservatives, who accused him of trashing cherished traditions. He also drew the ire of progressives, who felt he should have done much more to reshape the 2,000-year-old Church.
>He was 88
Least based pope in history gets most based digits.

>traditional Catholic teaching on questions of sexual moralityThis is gaslighting 101. The Catholic church has plenty of priests accused of pedophilia and harboring LGBT ideology in the churches, not to mention overt tolerance of homosexuality.
Hell is too good a place for him.
>>386132Rev16:3
Consider that by putting his burning carcass on display for all time, that all the almost-followers, the nearly-fell-for-it followers, they can always go to the Throne Room, and in the middle will be a pit, and the smoke from his still-burning-carcass will be that sweet smell of balance; justice was meted and everything will be okay now because the Great Judge ruled fairly.
Well bros, the times are about to get good shake up (hopefully).

I'm not saying is not so bad, but I'm saying that sometimes fate has a very akward timing for events.
There are twice as many African catholics as North American, about 224 to 112 millions.
Pope Francis traitorously promoted massive African and Muslim immigration into Europe. Also, he appointed no fewer than 109 of the 135 “cardinal electors” who will choose his successor. He passed over many conservative Europeans and chose cardinals from Rwanda, Cape Verde, Tonga, Myanmar, Mongolia and South Sudan. My guess: The next pope will be even worse.
