Holy Moley! Pope Francis Has Gone to the Great Church in the Sky!

A Sad Day Indeed

Right then what's all this then? Cardinal Kevin Farrell who sounds very important indeed made a bit of a sad announcement on the telly. Seems Pope Francis has gone to meet his maker... or maybe he just went to a really REALLY long church service! He was 88 years old which is like a million in Teddy years! I always say 'a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse,' and well he certainly gave life a good wink didn't he?

From Buenos Aires to the Big Seat

Now this Pope Francis or Jorge Mario Bergoglio as his mum used to call him wasn't always wearing a big hat. He started out in Buenos Aires which is apparently very far away. He even had some rather interesting jobs before becoming Pope like a janitor and a nightclub bouncer! Can you imagine the Pope bouncing people out? I bet he always said 'You've been Beaned!' before they went flying! Bit like when I tried to be an orchestra conductor wasn't quite my cup of tea! He was the first pope from the Southern Hemisphere fancy that!

Todos Todos Todos!

Apparently Pope Francis liked to say 'Todos todos todos!' which I think means 'Everyone everyone everyone!' in a very posh language. Sounds like what I say when I'm trying to get Teddy to eat his Brussels sprouts. But he tried to make everyone feel welcome in his church even the ones who like the same sort of thing if you catch my drift. Good on him! It is important to be inclusive. Like when I invited the pigeon in even though it made a mess. But 'if you don't succeed try try again' as they say!

Blessing Same Sex Couples? Blimey!

Cor blimey! Did you hear about the Pope blessing same sex couples? A bit like when I tried to put my underpants on my head to liven things up. A bit shocking but a good laugh too! He even wanted to let women have a bigger say in the church. Very modern indeed! I once tried to give Teddy a vote on what to have for tea but he just kept voting for cake! Never a dull moment eh?

A Few Bumps Along the Road

The poor fellow had a bit of a dodgy lung and then had to get his insides fiddled with! Sounds a bit like when I try to fix the Christmas lights! But he always bounced back even joking about still being alive! He was a real trooper a bit like Teddy after a particularly rough bath.

So Long Farewell Auf Wiedersehen Goodbye!

So farewell Pope Francis! You certainly gave it a good go! A real 'do it yourself' kind of Pope. I hope he's having a nice cup of tea and a biscuit wherever he is now. Maybe he's even met Mr. God! I'm off to find Teddy now he'll be wanting to hear all about this! Pip pip!
