RIP! no joke. i saw the photo of the meeting yesterday with VP Vance and thought he looked better than the last time I saw him but he just did not look right. The bloating and age looked scary. I did not realize he was in that bad of shape. 1 1 Quote

Logic Posted April 21 Posted April 21 (edited) My favorite Pope Francis quote: "It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help...if I say I am a Christian, but I do these things, I'm a hypocrite". A quote which is very much in line with the virtues espoused by Jesus Christ. Generosity, kindness, and charity toward fellow humans -- particularly the vulnerable and needy. A concept which is worth trumpeting, and which is worth pursuing and adhering to. May Pope Francis rest in peace. Edited April 21 by Logic 8 1 Quote

Old Testament addressed the hypocrisy too...

Figster Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Felt the weight of the world and didn't understand why until I seen the news. R. I. P. Quote
