...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. That was to show how humble he is. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess...
Wednesday had a good day, calling the Catholic parish in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

In a March 5 statement, the Vatican said Pope Francis ''remained stable'' throughout the day and had no episodes of respiratory difficulty or failure.
During the day, he received high-flow oxygen through the nose as planned, and use of non-invasive ventilation will be used during the night, as has been the case for the past two days, after experiencing a respiratory spasm.
Francis, 88, spent the day in a chair and in the morning, in his private apartment on the 10th floor of Rome's Gemelli Hospital, he participated in the rite of the blessing of the ashes for Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the Lenten season.
He then had the ashes imposed on him by the celebrant and received the Eucharist.
Also in the morning the pope called Father Gabriel Romanelli, pastor Holy Family parish in Gaza, and conducted some work activities. He spent the afternoon working.
"It's your cell phone. Caller ID says it's the Pope. And your pager went off"
"Don't touch them!"
Despite another stable day for Pope Francis, given the complexity of his overall clinical status, which includes factors such as his age and underlying chronic respiratory illness, doctors are still refraining from providing an overall prognosis, which remains ''guarded.''
