J D Vance V P
J D Vance the V P , he has become known as the anti christ?so some social media sites are saying.
As we all will know Pope Francis has sadly died today.
Um!!! what is it when senior politicians meet a head of state? Within hours of the Vance meeting with the Pope, I wonder what was said at the meeting?
Same thing happened when Truss met the Queen, 2 days after that meeting the Queen died.
Now I wonder if JD Vance will not be allowed in the same room as Trump?
If I was the Indian PM Modi perhaps he needs to cancel the planned visit

No worries mate, according to an article on the net today, Trump is going to speak with the Cardinals to ask them to put an American Cardinal as Pope!!!!!!

Re: J D Vance V P
Perhaps that was hastened the death of pope Francis. Vance passed that message onto Pope Francis.
Cause of death was a stroke and heart failure. A suggestion like that about a US Pope could very well caused the stroke. If he did hopefully Pope Francis to Vance, there is no chance of having two American Popes on the bounce, seeing as Pope Francis was a South American.
No doubt Vance would have had to get an Atlas out to see were Argentina was

I believe he told the Pope that he was sending Musk over to check him out.

hi John
I don't know what all the fuss is about, I thought that is where he has always wanted to go to met up with God?

Re: J D Vance V P
I wonder who took his confession before he passed away ? JS
As said once before am not a RC by any means, but sometimes wonder about the C of E as was brought up during the war as a choir boy at a very early age and resigned long before my voice broke and was made redundant, But will always remember the Chant “ I believe in the Holy Ghost , The Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints , and the Resurrection of the Body. Aaaaaghhhhh men “. So in those days both Catholic and Protestant at the upper levels used to share the limelight not like today with all the new so called Christian faiths with different rules and regulations. JS

Re: J D Vance V P
I think from experience there is very little difference between Catholic and C of E/ Anglican.
Not so sure about the rest though.

Re: J D Vance V P
Never had any close encounters with any Ghosts then Ivan ?.Apart from my paternal grandmother who was a strong believer in seances and a medium, and used to scare me when younger have had at least one close encounter but only got the heavy breathing and nothing there , only log book extracts of a death at sea years ago and was not present at the death but ship was in same more or less in same position when buried , I was not aware of this until after the event. However he must have taken the oath of silence as never gave me any information to pass on. Sorry !!
