At 7:35AM, Rome time, Pope Francis left this world, for greater glory, which he earned.
At around 9AM this morning, NYC time, David woke me to inform me of his passing.
I was saddened and fearful. We have lost one of the best Popes I can recall in my lifetime. The Catholic Church is on an uncertain precipice. I fear we will return to darker times upon the election of a much more, putting it mildly, austere Pope.
Or maybe not. Who knows? But in this time of overall uncertainty, Pope Francis' passing adds more to the pot.
He was 88. In October, Sister Camille will be that age. Hang in there, Sister Camille. Your presence is needed more than ever.
Rest In Peace, Pope Francis. Few are as deserving as you,
