24. Disappointment

The Pope met with prisoners in PA. That he met with only one, Kim Davis is sad. Adventists don't even recognize the Pope. Not a big deal, much worse is canonizing Junipero Serra and the Vatican saying they will not divest from fossil fuel investments.

The Pope is not impressive so far.
