ROME - Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican said in a video statement on April 21.

This ends an often turbulent reign marked by division and tension, as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution.

Some people think that the current Pope, Francis, might be the final pope mentioned in the prophecy. This has led to speculation about the end of the world, especially since Pope Francis is getting older and there have been reports about his health.

Pope Francis and JD Vance, who have disagreed very publicly over the Trump administration’s attitude to immigration and its migrant deportation plans, met briefly in Rome on Sunday to exchange Easter greetings.

The meeting came a day after the US vice-president, who converted to Roman Catholicism in 2019, sat down with senior Vatican officials and had “an exchange of opinions” over international conflicts and immigration.


Francis, who is recovering from a near-fatal bout of pneumonia, received Vance in one of the reception rooms of the Vatican hotel where he lives. The 88-year-old pontiff offered the vice-president three big chocolate Easter eggs for Vance’s three young children, who did not attend, as well as a Vatican tie and rosaries.

Mark tells his dying friend, Luke: "We both love football and played for so many years on the same team. When you get to heaven, you must tell if we can play the game there."
Shortly after that, Luke passed away.
At midnight a week later, a voice called out to Mark.
"It's me, Luke. I am in heaven. I have some really good news and a little bad news."
"Tell me the good news first," says Mark.
Luke replies: "The good news is there's football in heaven, we're all young again and we can play football all we want."
That's fantastic," says Mark. "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?
Luke replies: "You're on the team for this Saturday's match!"

Pope Francis in his youth worked as a nightclub bouncer and floor sweeper, before graduating as a chemist.

Not bad for a nightclub bouncer.

I nominate @glockman to be the next Pope. He will unite all people of different faiths in the world from all nationalities and make it a peaceful world without terrorism and extremism.

Good riddance to bad Jesuit rubbish.

I'm sure good Catholic fanboy Edwin Tong will be very sad.

I humbly accept the nomination, and promise to be an enlighten Pope. I will bring the Catholic Church to the 21st century and beyond. Amen.
