Pope Francis passed away early this morning. I learned of this in a comment from LeaNder who linked to the above painting by Thomas Cole, “The Pilgrim of the Cross at the End of His Journey.” I find it most appropriate. I’ll have more to say later.
This morning President Trump announced an Executive Order from the White House balcony prior to the annual Easter Egg Roll. “I just signed an executive order putting the flags of our country — all of them — at half-mast in honor of Pope Francis. He was a good man, worked hard. He loved the world. And it’s an honor to do that.” Even he knows better than to do and say otherwise I was pleased to see that.
