I saw a story yesterday where he refused the Popemobile for his trip to the Middle East and will be riding out in the open.
I could see him being shot and killed in Jerusalem. ...
and then rising from the dead for the world to see.
... and he will be shot by an orthodox jew and everyone will say that is not Judaism... blah blah blah
Yeah, then everyone will be shouting Santo subito. Then we'd have to hear about the great pope and martyr Francis.
If you die for the Catholic Faith that's what you are, a martyr.
Francis doesn't have the Catholic Faith.
Maybe he can convert -- just in time to be martyred.
If we all pray for his conversion, why would such a result not be possible?
