      It somehow seems appropriate that he passed the morning after Easter. May he rest in peace.

        He was the best Pope. I hope his successor follows in his footsteps.

            Been listening to the tributes on the news today. Many were from Kanadian First Nations people . He came to Kanada and he apologized, and judging by First Nations comments his mission had some success ......

              What a waste of his last day.....

              Seems like a fairly humble bloke by all accounts, quite progressive by Vatican standards... wonder if the next one will match the latest film?? Perhaps that's what JD was checking on!

                Insiders claim that his successor has already been chosen!

                        Medical science agrees that stress definitely can cause strokes.


                        https://health.clevelandclinic.org › stressed-work-may-higher-risk-stroke

                        https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart...trigger-stroke

                        Stress and stroke are linked. Understand the symptoms and causes of stress-induced strokes and learn how to manage stress to reduce your risk.


                        Stroke happens either when the blood supply to part of your brain is cut of because of a blood clot or when brain artery ruptures and leads to a haemorrhage. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, but most strokes can be prevented by addressing a small number of key risk factors.


                        Many factors can contribute to potentially dangerous levels of stress. Learn more from Heart & Stroke experts.

                          Pope Francis lived a life closer in spirit to that of Jesus Christ than did any other religious leader I have witnessed in my lifetime. The man walked the walk.
                          Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

                          Nature bats last.
