Did he go to confession? If so, the priest probably couldn't stop laughing!

@fanuc2013 Pope Francis pissed off a lot of American bishops by refusing to issue an order forbidding priests from refusing communion to politicians who support abortion rights.
When is the last time you went to confession? When you were still in elementary school?

@LeopoldBloom He’s still my Pope. I’ve been very pleased with many of his stances. Others, not as much. But he’s still my Pope.

@JustGoneNow I don't agree with many of his positions, obviously, but I appreciate how he has pivoted away from the culture war stuff and has focused more on poverty and wealth inequality. He's also reformed the Curia which was overdue, like several centuries overdue. This is an old article but explains a lot.

@LeopoldBloom He’s a Franciscan. That’s what they do. Franciscan’s are always worried about poverty and the plight of the common person. I’ve not been surprised.
