Taken from Moon of Alabama blog:

He was a remarkable man:

The Popes Easter message yesterday:

“I think of the people of Gaza and its Christian community in particular, where the terrible conflict continues to cause death and destruction and create a dramatic and deplorable humanitarian situation”

BREAKING: Pope Francis has passed away at the age of 88.

Just one day before his death, he called for an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza, describing the situation as “dramatic & deplorable,” & urged the world to deliver aid & peace to the Palestinian people.

Pope Francis has just passed away.

He was the only global leader to condemn both NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine as well as the genocide in Gaza carried out by Israel with Western backing. (Pope Francis Says NATO Started War in Ukraine by ‘Barking at Putin’s Door’)

May he rest in peace.
