  2. @UCANews RT by @benedictrogers: In memory of #PopeBenedictXVI, and in hope for a better future for the people – and the Church – in #China, let us resolve to devote this week to praying, writes @benedictrogers. #HumanRights ucanews.com/news/for-a-better- nitter.hongkongers.net/UCANews

  3. ‘You could have given the same homily for anybody: any cardinal, any bishop or even the butcher next door’, say whining conservatives. (nytimes.com/2023/01/05/world/e ) Yes, that’s precisely the point! #PopeFrancis #PopeBenedictXVI #death #ChristianFunerals

  4. “…kind, serene…gracious.”

    Pope Benedict XVI remembered warmly by AFN delegation member

    On the eve of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s funeral, Delia Opekokew’s feelings of him remain the same today as they did when she met him in 2009.

    Opekokew was one of 10 members of a delegation from the Assembly of First Nations to have a private audience with Benedict in Vatican City that year.

  5. CW: Valid criticism of the Catholic Church and Pope Benedict's ethical failures.

    Ya but if hell-fire is based on faith alone, the head of the #childAbuse coverup goes to heaven.

    Comic of Pope Benedict at a signpost with a skull on top and two arrows signs. The top sign reads, "child abuser hell." The second points lower and says "head of child abuse cover up organization super hell." There are flames and smoke to convey the location is hell.

  6. Just one of the reasons that I shed no tears when #PopeBenedict
    died - good riddance.

    His cruelty to this child & intolerance to other religions amongst many other things made me ashamed to be #Catholic.

    Pure #evil.

  7. An excellent and fascinating programme about #PopeBenedictXVI, featuring the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, @timothy_stanley, @ctrlamb and other experts reflecting on his life. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001gk1k nitter.hongkongers.net/benedic

  8. There can be no forgiveness for the Nazi Pope Benedict, who colluded with men who raped children. It's almost a shame hell doesn't exist, because that's where he'd be right now.

  9. I mourn the #death of #popebenedictxvi (aka Joseph Ratzinger) along with my Roman Catholic friends. His #theology was deeply formative of my own in many ways (even when I disagreed with his conclusions).

    One of my favorite series he wrote was the “Jesus of Nazareth” trilogy. Definitely a must read if you haven’t already read it!

    And dear Roman Catholic brothers and sisters, know that i am praying for you as you grieve the loss of this beloved #pope and pastor-theologian.

  10. CW: sexual violence, religious abuse

    Joseph Ratzinger, later coronated #PopeBenedictXVI, overlooked, slow-walked, or actively resisted calls to discipline clergy accused of sexual violence at least twelve times.

  11. This Pope?

    I hope it was a slow and painful departure. And if there’s an afterlife, I hope he suffers there to eternity too.

  12. The last time a British Monarch and a Roman Catholic Pope died in the same year was in 1830: George IV died on 26.06 and Pius VIII on 30.11.

  13. Rest in peace, Pope Benedict XVI.

    No pope is perfect, for starters. His understanding and teaching about liturgy was formative for me. He was the only pope I've seen in person (thus far) and will forever grace our home as the pope granting an apostolic blessing for our wedding.

    May the angels take him to his Creator with all due haste.

    Funeral on January 5.

  14. #Vatican: "Farewell to Benedict XVI: ‘Humble worker in vineyard of the Lord'" "The 95-year-old Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI passed away on Saturday at 9:34 AM in his residence at the Vatican's Mater Ecclesiae Monastery." #pope #bendict #PopeBenedictXVI vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city

  15. And now, for the first time in 600 years, a death of a pope that doesn't prompt a conclave. #PopeBenedictXVI
