The First American Pope Takes on US President Trump with Palki Sharma

Apparently, the new Pope is a lefty and/or is he aping his predecessor Pope Francis? I miss the Polish Pope John Paul II!
Palki Sharma suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Canonization of Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, the first saints of Pope Leo XIV on 9/7/2025

Carlo Acutis was only 15 years old when he died of leukemia. It seems he was a very devoted Christian, but a saint?

I personally don't find Carlo Acutis to convincing to be declared a saint. Is this a desperate measure by the Vatican? Is the Vatican lowering its standards for canonization?

According to Wikipedia: "he created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions.". He also converted his Brahmin personal teacher and other individuals to be baptized.

Caveat: I am not familiar with the live and deeds of Carlo Acutis.

"Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati will be declared saints in the Catholic Church on Sunday, Sept. 7, at the Vatican. ..."

'Africa not a pizza to be sliced': Nigerian priest leader recalls Pope Francis. Really!

Did the late pope Francis from Argentina really say that? What did he know about Pizza? 😊
Italy came late to Africa as a colonizer and played a minor role except for e.g. Ethiopia, Libya, and Somalia.

Pope Francis' testament

A very unimpressive testament! Worse, a rather selfish testament! It is excessively and almost exclusively concerned with his burial.

I expect much more from a great pope!

He only granted a "fitting reward" to those who loved him and prayed for him. What about the rest of us?

First sentence: "... I wish to set out my final wishes solely regarding the place of my burial. ..."

Last sentence: "May the Lord grant a fitting reward to all those who have loved me and who continue to pray for me. The suffering that has marked the final part of my life, I offer to the Lord, for peace in the world and for fraternity among peoples."

A Conspiracy theory: Did the US Vice President kill the Pope?

I don't think it happens very often that a U.S. Vice President visits the Pope in the Vatican. Maybe I am wrong.

J. D. Vance visited the first Jesuit and first Latin American Pope (age 88) on Easter Sunday! Within hours after the visit the Pope died! What kind of Easter egg did Vance present?

Or was it just rare and unfortunate timing/coincidence?

Caution: Satire!
