Bishop-of-Rome Francis Gargoyle for Cologne Cathedral

You can't make this stuff up.

No, this is not fake news. This is not a Halloween joke. You couldn’t make it up if you got paid to: The Cathedral of St. Peter in Cologne, Germany, has added a new gargoyle to its facade, and it represents none other than the world’s chief apostate, Mr. Jorge Bergoglio, otherwise known by his stage name, “Pope Francis.”
.
Usually gargoyles are made in the form of notorious sinners, demons, or animals. A standard dictionary definition is: 
.
“a grotesquely carved figure of a human or animal”, and “a spout, terminating in a grotesque representation of a human or animal figure with open mouth, projecting from the gutter of a building for throwing rain water clear of a building” (source). Someone in the Novus Ordo Sect apparently thought that “Pope” Francis was a good candidate for such an honor, and voilà, you can see the result just above.
.
It was the Cologne-based regional tabloid Express that first discovered the grotesque figurine. On Oct. 26, they published an article on it entitled, “Cologne Cathedral: Pope Francis greets visitors at main entrance.”
.
The figure is merely for decoration and does not actually spout water. It hangs from a baldacchino above the head of a statue of King Solomon.

Methinks this Francis is a gargoyle. He is, like gargoyles, outside of the Church. ;) When it rains, he spews forth all of his detritus.

Not entirely inappropriate, I'm afraid.

I'm still waiting for a reaction from Bishop-of-Rome Francis.

Might have to wait a long time.

Kind of like Purgatory, in a manner of speaking.............. something to think about in November, the month of the Holy Souls...............

Keeping a warm sense of humor while it gets cold "outside," eh?  :cheers:
