Pope Francis arrives in Baghdad for risky, historic Iraq tour |
2021-03-06 |
[AlAhram] The Pope's first stop was to meet Iraqi President Barham Salih at the presidential palace, where a red carpet, military band and flock of doves greeted him Pope Francis ...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... embarked on Friday on the first ever papal visit to Iraq, his riskiest trip since his election in 2013, saying he felt duty-bound to make the "emblematic" visit because the country had suffered so much for so long. |

#6 Think the Iraqi's will gift the Pope a young boy to take home with him? Or does the Pope prefer little girls? |

#5 The downside is if the muslim in the street can't resist taking a shot at the symbol of their main enemy, we'll eventually end up with Comrade Saint Frannie. |

#4 Nice to see Frankie get out of the house. When even the Pope has more energy, it's time for Poppa Plugs to pack it in |

#3 "This is an emblematic trip and it is a duty towards a land that has been martyred for so many years," Francis said Kinda unfortunate choice of words, that. Hope it wasn't translated as shahid |
