I'm not a religious person. I'm an atheist. So I'm wondering...

How would a spiritual person take the fact the God's representative on Earth died almost immediately after meeting with Vance?

Just a coincidence? After all the pope has been very sick, and likely overexerted himself with the Easter events.

Or a sign the Vance is.... pure evil?

I mean, let's quit screwing around, that's what the DUmp is saying. Which is SO WEIRD, considering that...

...the DUmp is famously dismissive of and antagonistic toward Christians and their religion (with the occasional exception of black Baptists), referring to God as "flying spaghetti monster," Jesus as "Jeebus," and the bible as a book of fiction.
The DUmp USED to sneer at the Catholic Church as a bunch of pedos. The last Pope was called Ratzo, I think. In sum, they HATE the church and they HATE the Pope.

Yet somehow the pure-as-snow Pope, who at 88 was hale and hearty, was suddenly and unexpectedly dead after a meeting with JD Vance.

Man, these people. DUMB.

They aren't labeled 'DUmmies' for their resemblance to Charley McCarthy, my friend...

Could JD Vance please meet with soros next?

Pretty please?

Pope Francis has been in critical or serious medical condition for over 2 months - pneumonia - requiring non-invasive ventilation, high-flow oxygen, and blood transfusion - and early-stage kidney failure.

Holy Week (Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday) is busy with ceremonies in the Catholic Church, VERY stressful for a man in Francis' frail condition.

If "blame" is a word proper to this context, I'd "blame" Francis' 8 days of duties and his choice to do them. IOW, Francis did what he believed he should do, and the cumulative stress was too much for his frail system to sustain.

As for DU, haters gonna hate, facts be damned.

CNN election desk has determined that Michele Obama will be the next Pope.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Can JD schedule an emergency meeting with Murkowski and Collins?

Just asking for a friend.

Some Christians don't recognize the Pope as God's representative on Earth. Many believe that God in the person of Jesus Christ is God's representative on Earth.

True. However, out of simple Christian charity, I know 99.999% of practicing Christians will be extending sympathy to their fellow members of the body of Christ who are mourning at this time, whether they recognized the earthly supremacy of His Holiness or not.

The only ones I see having difficulty with that particular characteristic of Christianity will be the ones like the DUmp'Rats, who claim to be active church-goers but hold belief structures and the associated actions driven by those beliefs that make some of us question the accuracy of that claim.

Part of me wants to say too soon, but the moonbats are making the same comments about having him check in on Putin, so fire away I suppose.

I am one who does not recognize Popes as having authority outside of the Catholic Church. That still makes the Pope an authority for hundreds of millions of my brothers and sisters in Christ, and I respect their respect of that authority. I expressed my opinion of Francis above, but his problematic actions - problematic IMO - are minor compared to some Popes of the more distant past (e.g. Steven VI and Alexander VI).

Trying to word this sarcasm- and hyperbole-free, much of what I see in DU-posts about Christianity, especially about Evangelicals, persuades me that the ones posting have seldom if ever darkened the door thresholds of any sort of theologically conservative (= acknowledging the authority of the Bible) Christian church.

Added a missing word.

Yeah, but you know that demons really can't handle stuff like that.

Unfortunately, many churches who were once theologically sound have essentially become social clubs so, except for the occasional mention of "God" and "Jesus", I'm sure the DUmmies would be okay if they accidently ventured in to one of those.

I find it hard to believe that any one at the DUmp after all these years of reading about how much they hate Christians are now suddenly converts to Christ or already were ever faithful to any Christain beliefs.

It's Easter. He'll be back in a few days.

I'm still amazed that DU-grade Progs haven't concocted the narrative that Trump surviving the assassination attempt proves he is The Beast of Revelation.
