    • Do you really think the conversion of Pope Francis is just waiting for one layman to get up off his butt and take the time to admonish him?

    Seriously.

    No, but that was not why I want to write to him.
    He remains the pope after all, and I seek to ask a favour of him.

    • What say you Matthew?

    Should I take advantage of his holiness' liberalness and ask him what I desire?
    Or would that be wrong?

    No, go right ahead.

    Just don't hold your breath, that's all.

    • He only talks with atheist journalists and adulterous females. (And anyone jumping in with, 'Well, Our Lord dined with sinners,' spare me. He did, but He also corrected their wayward behavior.)

    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

    Yes.

    A few tips for writing him to ensure a reception and to increase chances of a response:

    Address him as Jorge
    Don't bring up religion
    Talk about the difficulties you're having as a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, adulterer or atheist
    Ask why the Church won't let you receive communion.  You're a good person!
    Sign with a cool name, like J-dawg or something like that

    • If Our Lady writes him a letter with a request and he chooses to ignore it then I guess I'm probably wasting my time.

    If he ignores the Queen of heaven then what chance have I got.

    Ask him to put a souvenir ball and jersey of your favorite team on the high altar of St Mary Major Basilica in Rome, right next to the tabernacle.

    • Why don't you write c/o Vatican City State?
    For better results you should write in Spanish. I dont think he knows English. If you want him to call you back it might be helpful if you worked your phone number into the letter (It saves his secretary the trouble of looking you up in the phone directory  :laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1:)
