It’s not true!
He’s locked me in a basement.
Again.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us #PrayTogether for Pope Emeritus Benedict who is supporting the Church in silence. Let us ask the Lord to console him and to sustain him in this witness of love for the Church, until the end.

Fake news

[Benedict XVI @PopularPope]

And I’ve met plenty of Queens.

[Christopher Lamb @ctrlamb]

Her Majesty the Queen met five Popes:

Pius XII (as Princess Elizabeth) ~ 1951
John XXIII ~ 1961
John Paul II ~ 1980, 82 & 2000
Benedict XVI ~ 2010
Francis ~ 2014

[Her reign spanned seven Popes but she did not meet Paul VI or John Paul I]

[Benedict XVI @PopularPope]

I’m shocked and a little disappointed that I’ve outlasted Queen Elizabeth. #RestInPeace #QueenElizabeth

[Benedict XVI @PopularPope]

You wouldn’t catch me disrespecting the Papacy like this.

Just googled and yep - I’m still alive!

@AmyMcGrathKY That’s me, working away in the background.

[Benedict XVI @PopularPope]

He’s finally growing into the Papacy, if not the chair.

[CNN @CNN]

"Homosexual people have a right to be in a family. They're children of God and have a right to a family." Pope Francis has declared support for civil unions for same-sex couples for the first time, according to the Catholic News Agency.

Actually it was me, but I’ll graciously accept your thanks.

[The Ellen Show @TheEllenShow]

Thank you, Pope Francis, for seeing love for what it is.

Just had the Big Man on the phone.
He says it’s OK that the gays can get married.

I miss the old days when you’d be in a gazebo with your boyfriend and he’d be like “I’m horny for you because you are sixteen and I feel like I am way older than you” and also he was a member of the Hitler Youth. I love musicals
