Pope Joan and Joan Of Arc

Pope Joan and Joan of Arc
Mysterious women 
Both known 
For their parts

For hundreds of years
Hidden by history
But time would reveal
What some would not let be

Women dressed like men
Having Divine reason
Chosen by God
Each in her season 

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries
Is where each lived
Did one know the other
Or was another life lived

Saint Hood and disgrace
Would divide
Their purpose in life
In which the one lied 

The other a warrior
Undisguised
Making France what it is
Though a martyr died

History still hides
What men would divide
Why was it disgrace
For a woman in that place

But the two yet different
Are still the same
What they did back then 
Has the same name

We now ask the question
Why a Saint and the other a shame
We now look to God 
Who has given it a name

Holy Roller

There once was an old Pope from Rome
who had the Good Book a huge tome
an altar ego and mass appeal
so he made the Vatican home
2015 he addressed the environment
on climate change caused by man
and issued a Catholic Church encyclical
the first-ever since Popes began
let's trust instructing his cardinals
to avoid any more scandals
when pontificating and preaching to the choir
to burn less incense and light fewer candles
altho' it's a slippery slope here's the dope
and no I won't soft-soap
there's not much hope of Pope on a rope
but I can cope so I won't mope
now hear my voice as it's a choice
if I may be quite so bold
religion is discretionary not hereditary
and the herd of sheep in the fold should be told

Premium Member Pope Leo XIV

I love you! 
I’m so happy you scolded Pres. Trump
Also mentioned
You’re ashamed to be called American
 
That is so good!
You even compared him with Jesus Christ
That is so good!
For me you’re the best Pope

Premium Member There is a New Pope in Town

He may not be new to Peruvians or New York, but he is like a brand-new shiny penny to us. His casual manner serves as a guide to the pathways Jesus took. He is a simple and uncomplicated man of God. I like him, I can't wait to see his program rolled out before us. He greeted people on his Popemobile with dignity and pride. I can't wait for his presence in the City of New York. What will he say? How will we accept him?  With Grace and Humility. I hope. Pope Leo XIV, I welcome "Your Grace."  It is time for the Catholic Church to be brought together as one. I believe you can do this. With help from the congruent. I am a simple catholic person who believes, you can bring us together. Don't allow the Power Structure to ruin your vision. Be Strong and stand with the people. We love you.

Premium Member Robert Francis Prevost - Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost:
a brilliant man but not one to boast.
He brings a message of peace, love and hope,
and holy smoke! He’s the new pope.

Robert Francis Prevost:
as Leo XIV, he will not coast.
And another thing we know about the man:
he is a devoted baseball fan!

Premium Member POPE LEO XIV





The divine flame, the torch of eternal truth lit,
 
And passed it onto Pope's Leo XIV trembling hand

Who, fervently, prayed to our God almighty,

Peace and love to bring, upon men's tormented land.

The Political Pope

Written By:  D. Collins 5/8/25


After tariffs upon the world an American Pope is elected.
Does it have anything to do with how we're so disrespected?
Maybe it's the world's way of trying to reign Chaos in.
While Chaos will expect the Pope to personally visit him.


Does The Pope have knowledge of the petafiles within the church?
Did he participate or look away, for fear of who it would hurt?
Oval Office visit plans are most likely currently underway.
Chaos must have that photo shoot to add to his resume.


Religion and politics are intermingled during these times.
We've had a week of Pope coverage, while Isreal takes Palestine.
It kind of makes you wonder, where has the Christ Love been?
Those deported and dying just happen to be of darker skin.


Another Spanish Inquisition of adopt my religion or die.
The only difference is that it is twenty-twenty-five.
When Chaos pics with a Bible and The Pope.
The world's People of Color really have no HOPE!

Premium Member Habemus Novum Papam

Yes, indeed we have a new Pope.
I wonder, however, if we have a new hope.
As a matter of facts, we have two popes:
One is active and the other is passive,
Which means that one is inactive,
The latter was a hell of a man who shocked: folks,
Foes, rivals, parishioners and cardinals,
By resigning his post,
By becoming a different host.
He is still a holy man, in accordance to the latest polls,
A courageous priest, who reminds us,
That man is immortal and fallible.

Pope Benedict is enjoying his golden hiatus,
His retirement in a humanely divine castle.
I don't know much about the new one.
I can only hope that he is someone,
Who's at least similar or equal,
To the former, who was wise and simple.
May God bless his soul,
‘Cause he was able to realize
That he was becoming unable
To lead effectively, and to prioritize.
As a matter of facts, habemus duo popes,
Yes, indeed, habemus duo pontifices.

Pope Francis died, 

Thus

Poorer leaving the earth and humanity in pain,

While heaven,

Celebrating is, for becoming richer by one saint.

Premium Member Child of the Street

“Consequence”
Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile.
I know you can  
Oh, little child of the street.

Pope Francis says, 
“You are a consequence, 
A consequence of war.”
Your tattered clothes, 
Your blackened face,
You’re all alone,
You have no home.

Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile.
I see your tears,
I feel your pain,
You bear the cross 
Of mankind’s wrath.
You have no smiles.

Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile
You tell the fate of mankind’s hate.
There is no love.
There is no joy.
You are just a child, 
A child of the street,
Who knows not how to Smile.
“Consequence” your name.

One day after Easter
The Pontiff leaves us
A light to the believer
God speed sir

Premium Member Pope Francis

My Dearest Pope Francis,
Although your beautiful body is gone, Us Catholics will remember you forever. As a Catholic person, I will never forget you. Your legacy will remain within our hearts. As always, God sends His very best at the right time. I will not mourn for you, you will never be gone to me.  The Church may have lost a great soul, but to me, you can never be lost

I as a Catholic, will pray that your soul will meet the Jesus you taught us about. That He will say to you, "Well done, my good and faithful servant.  

Your body is done, your mind is at rest, and your soul goes to the Best of the Best. You will meet your colleagues John Paul II and Benedict.

                               Rest in beauty, Pope Francis
