Vale Pope Francis. vaticannews.va/en.html

This medallion of Francis embracing his predecessor, Benedict XVI makes me ponder if the two Popes are meeting again in this way up in heaven now.

The Holy See has entered "Sede Vacante" - the time between Popes. This coin from the September 1978 Sede Vacante before Pope John Paul II was elected. More on this piece: coinofnote.com/1978-vatican-50

What is sad is not #PopeFrancis's death per se: it is the knowing that the #catholic #church has so few leaders like him in its ranks. The #Pope chose #Francis of Assisi as his namesake, who put the vow of #poverty at the heart of the #franciscan order. Very unlike other residents of the #Vatican. He was routinely accused of #wokeness for pointing the finger at the corrupting power of money & for embodying #compassion for all people (incl. #LGBTQ & #indigenous leaders) & #nature (#LaudatoSi).RIP
