As a woman born into the catholic church I am hopeful that this new pope is worthy of the position. Pope Francis left some big shoes to fill. As a Christian I am appalled by the Republicans and other so-called Christians who do not act the way Christ did. I live by love, tolerance, forgiveness and understanding. I don't judge anyone's way of life nor their culture/religion. God is about love. Whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. We are His children. ALL of us. Shabbat Shalom. ❤️🙏
Thanks, again I feel very much the same about the new Pope, & everything else you mentioned. Pope Francis was a hero to me...the epitome of a good & thoughtful man. Not too many of those around.......My other hero (now gone) was Jimmy Carter. At least Beto O Rourke is still with us! Out registering new voters all over Texas.
You said you aren't an expert on Jesus or his principles. Here's a mini-course!
Jesus was asked which Jewish law was most important. His answer was there are two: love God and love your neighbor.
If that is all any person knows about Jesus, I think they will have a good grasp on his character and what he deemed important. I think you understand more than you realize. 😊
Also, most major world religions have those two items as important tenets.
My protest sign says "Love Your Neighbor." I figure if we all did that, we wouldn't have these other problems.
I feel the same way. I had hopes that the new Pope would be more like Francis than some of hos other predecessors, and I think he is. We're non-religious, but my husband was raised Catholic, so I was very interested in this process. Of course, like you, I am also a citizen of this world, so I care how the leaders of major religions conduct themselves. I have met many good Christians, and some bad ones. Those who simply live their faith to the best of their ability are the ones I like the best.
Shabbat Shalom. Have a good Sabbath, and a great weekend.
Excellent post today. As a Protestant Christian, I am vaguely familiar with the process of electing a new Catholic pope, but it's always interesting to learn about the back stories. I do think I can affirmatively state Jesus is, shall we say, less than pleased with MAGA. Those folks are in for a mighty nasty surprise.

As always, you speak my mind. Shabbat Shalom.

Trump does live in Florida so he’s gotten used to heat which will bode well for him for the afterlife
Bwahahahahahaha
