How will Pope Francis be remembered? Well, he's still chugging along on half a colon, and
may have more plans up his sleeve, but it's time to take stock of the "Pope of Surprises".
Here are a few entrants for the forthcoming World Cup (to be conducted using Twitter
polls), and further nominations are requested.
My Italian is weak, but I am told that this is the pope's favourite portrait..
- Franciscan friars of the Immaculate
- Order of Malta
- Amoris Laetitia
- Response to the Dubia
- Pachamama worship
- Slapping of a lady pilgrim
- The church in China
- Appointment of Cupich, Farrell, Tobin etc.
- The Scalfari interviews
- Imaginative ex-aeroplana teaching
- Encouragement of Emma Bonino
- Encouragement of James Martin
- Management of Vatican finances
- Finance of Rocketman
- Reception of Cardinal Zen
- Traditionis Custodes
- Pope Francis book of insults
- Vatican Christmas scenes
"Live long and prosper, dear Tridentine Mass enthusiasts," says the Pope.
To nominate further achievements (and be as polite as I am, for
I have not said anything either for or against these remarkable accomplishments),
please reply to this post or else reply to the corresponding Tweet. We'll start when
I am ready.
