2. That explains a short clip of a TV interview I saw with him

When asked to say something about what Leo was like, he called him something like "a dumb younger brother" (that may not be his exact words, but that was pretty much it.) It seemed odd when I saw it. I chalked it up at the time as a poor attempt at being funny.

Leo's younger brother on the other hand seemed nice when interviewed, felt proud and seemed to be in regular contact with the now Pope.

but read it and it "touched his heart."

I have to wonder what he would think now if he reads that list again. Most of those things have gone in exactly the opposite direction. How he sees and reacts to that would reveal a lot.

17. As a practicing Catholic who attends mass every week, I am not surprised.

Many of my fellow parishioners voted for trump both times. These people are the anti-abortion wing of the Catholic church. They are also hypocrites. They ignore the teachings of Jesus telling us to take care of the poor and sick, but are so damn happy to vote for a convicted felon.

18. It's too late now but those brothers needed to be invisible & zipped up for the duration.

Only heard of Francis having a sister and talking last week and nobody for any of the others. Am sure to be corrected on that.

It just evaporates the mystery, and the two brothers seem to be quite the chatterboxes, which combined with the "Americanness" and English and baseball and our media like bones for our pups it all will be a frenzy. Politics has already been injected for the MAGAts with the Woke-pope stuff (my riposte to them being, So you MAGAts agree that he's a follower of the Jesus message - shouldn't it be a compliment from you? ) .

But now with a bro being a MAGAt and Leo having voted in multiple Repuke primaries it'll be distraction-city.

This particular article may certainly be true, but the source is one that shouldn't be linked to per DU's terms of service.
