    No, this is the first I've heard of it.

    I found out a few minutes ago.  I knew he had health problems, but after seeing him out and about on Easter Sunday, I wasn't expecting it today.

    I saw it at about 9:30 thismorning when I opened my iPhone and checked the news.  I m not surprised, all things considered.

    I can only hope it wasn't intended as a direct response to his death.

    (I originally had this mistakenly posted as a separate answer. I moved it here as a reply to you. Jane S. Woops on my goof, ha.)

    She has not explained, but here is some background on her thinking. While the Pope took several actions on the issue, not everyone thinks he did enough. But calling him evil, implies something else IMO.

    Her own party is controlled by the Beast of the Apocalypse, who is both a criminal and an abuser, and who personally intervened to get Andrew Tate, a human trafficking paedophile rapist, out of Romania.

    Wonder what makes the Pope evil in her eyes? Probably because he criticized Trump’ s view on Ukraine and his deportation efforts. I’m sure they will claim she wasn’t talking about the Pope – but I am sure she was. Cheers!

    See what I posted to Welby above. Everyone has a right to to free speech, but with so many wealthy Catholic donors pulling the strings, it may not have been her best political move.

    If that happens, her not being re-elected can only be a good thing.

    Happened soon after he met JDV, so he probably choked to death on BS.

    It's possible the Pope wanted to hang on long enough to meet with Vance and explain to him how Vance has twisted the Church's teachings.

    It only lasted a few minutes. During which the Pope gave Vance gifts.

    During the encounter, the pope presented Vance with several gifts: a Vatican tie, a red rosary for him, white rosaries for his children, and a set of three large chocolate Easter eggs. A separate white rosary was designated for his wife.
     
    Vance replied: “Thank you. It’s beautiful.”
