Pope Francis died

I want to watch it but no longer have SKY as it’s too expensive but think it’s only a matter of time that can stream it somewhere 🤞🏻

I watched this yesterday and it is indeed a heartwarming and wonderful film.

Just a quick recommendation for the film The Two Popes which I have just finished watching as it seemed appropriate and a lovely way to remember Pope Francis.
On Netflix- heartwarming and just wonderful.

Ixion what a lovely, fitting cartoon.

No. It's a very dark blue

Navy, Allira!

Prince William not wearing black.
It's the modern acceptable.

Is this not black?

The more I read about him the more I hope his successor has the same courage to speak up for the poor and oppressed. And not turn the social change clock back.

Yes, me too.

I think the Cardinal from the Philippines, Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle, is considered to be quite progressive.

Me too Wyllow.

I don’t follow a religion but, on a human level, I think Pope Francis was a very good man and will be missed by the world.

Humanity needs all the good leaders it can get at the moment.

...and then thanked him afterwards.

Also, I hadn't realised until today how he had continued his daily mass service for the people of his parishes.

It’s nice that he was able to appear on the balcony and give a blessing to all those in St Peter’s Square.
But a shame that the last person he talked with was JD Vance.

Actually it wasn’t!
According to todays commentary at his funeral, Pope Francis’s last words were to his male nurse when he asked him whether he was strong enough to make it round St Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday - he answered Yes and pushed him round to greet or take his leave of his people.

I think some of us treat Gransnet more like our sitting room than a church Caleo it is allowed to chat and comment as we might to friends. Nobody today has been disrespectful of the funeral or the Pope who was, I believe, a singular man.

I am sorry you are offended. I'm sure nobody was trying to offended you.
Apologies if I (we) have.

Agreed Wyllow
I hope they choose someone who travels the same path.

The videography is exceptional.
Such moving and poetic framing.

there are very many people not wearing black suits not only William and Trump. lots of grey and navy, look at the television screen and see.
William was in black suit when he paid respects at the coffin!

For goodness sake, pay attention!

Some of you seem to regard a death and mourning as a superficial social event.

Bea, this entire thread offends my sensibilities. Francis was a good man.

Comments about mourners' attire are insultingly ignorant when there is much to praise about Francis.

Using the death of a merciful and brave man to complain about religion in general or RC in particular is unbalanced.

These posts lack political comment on how Francis supported the poor and despised of this sad world.

Spontaneous applause when Zelenskyy arrived.

What mercy and courage Francis had! He granted an interview to Vance on the last day of his life. Faithful to the last.

It seems that some of Intercessions were spoken by ordinary people, in ordinary clothes.
I would have liked to have seen more ordinary people at the front really.

Zelenskyy of course is wearing black.

There is someone on the dias in navy blue too

The lady looks splendid - not sure who she is ?

Trump sticks out though because he's near a gap.
I was pleased Zelenskyy was there.

Yes agree and pleased to see both there with their wives
