This is a different post than was initially intended. News changed things.
Yesterday an unscheduled trip, J.D. Vance to the Vatican, an audience with Pope Francis. The Vatican was kind enough to share this video of Vance's reception at the Vatican and attending an apparent Easter mass. Also, there is a video of Vance and family departing.
Today, Francis is dead. Only one man on the entire earth knows now what that audience involved. A sincere hope is that Vance's heart was moved and his mind impacted. Francis will be missed.
It is a good development that this audience was possible.
The Roman Church shall move to appoint another Pope. In due time.
Francis wanted and was able to have this action late toward his death. It seems a good thing it was enabled. It had to have been a major thing to Vance, in his life.
May the greatest good come of its happening.
All for today.
