Pope Francis is named Esquire's Best Dressed Man of 2013
The magazine said he was picked because of his humility and his simple manner of dressing, which has 'signaled a new era and for many, renewed hope for the Catholic Church'

Bona! I've had it with this your awwww. Pls, leave it for d ladies now...ahn ahn everytime awwww haba!
DeleteWait a minute, Is that wedding ring on his finger? Or its just me
ReplyDeleteShut the hell up,google why pope,ordained bishops of orthodox church use ring in their right hand...stop talking anyhow,I see all!!
DeleteLinda did u hear what this pope said yesterday? He said all religions are one, Adam and eve is a fable, there is no hell. You are here pretending that u didn't see that one abi. This man is there misleading people, he has an agenda. Catholics I love u, but u should dig deep into what u are into and understand where u stand. Linda I know u are a devoted one that is y u instigate people against anyone that speaks against them. All I'm saying is, Pls open ur eyes, the truth stares at u.
ReplyDeleteThe pope never said that. It was culled up from a blog and if u read it to d last sentence, u will see d disclaimer. There was never a 3rd vatican council and d blog said the article is satrical. Pls let us stop spreaing false gist.
DeleteSubject: On Pope Francis and the Purpoted Claims...
DeleteYou might have heard or you may soon hear some irritating news making the rounds about some statements alluded to Pope Francis. Some of the statements include that:
There was a 3rd Vatican Council
That the Pope declared that there was not a reality of the creation story
That hell is not real
That the Church now supports gay marriage
And many more claims alluded to the Holy Father.
I was tempted to overlook it when I discussed it with a few people a few days ago. But just this evening, I received a message from a friend in Nigeria who expressed shock at the recent change in the Church's teachings and he called my attention to it again. Annoyingly, he sent me another website where I found the very same absurdities as there are on the one I discussed earlier. It became clear to me the ploy in recent times to attack I uprightness and time tested truths. Funny enough we are just rising from the stupidly laughable utterances of the "Rev." Chris Okotie.
As such kindly note the following information as regards this recent buffoonery:
The blog site supplying the material for the absurd information is
http://diversitychronicle.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/pope-francis-condemns-racism-and-declares-that-all-religions-are-true-at-historic-third-vatican-council/
After running through it I found an area noted as THE DISCLAIMER where i discovered what that site is set to do. In fact all that the site does is to post satires on serious issues. Here's what I found on the disclaimer
“I ceased in the year 1764 to believe that one can convince one’s opponents with arguments printed in books. It is not to do that, therefore, that I have taken up my pen, but merely so as to annoy them, and to bestow strength and courage on those on our own side, and to make it known to the others that they have not convinced us.” – Georg Christoph Lichtenberg.
It is in the spirit of the above quote that I write. Who am I you may ask? My name is Erik Thorson. I created this blog for my own personal amusement."
This is much more of a reaction, distraction, and a willful action to confuse a lot of people. And indeed there are websites like www.newsinnigeria.org and many others who have started to peddle the lies.
Now we have a piece of job in our hands for the next few weeks, to make sure our simple people of faith do not eat up this nonsense as it has already started to generate a lot of raves and many non Catholics are so interested in it. Let's be as proactive as possible.
Please note the following important points:
1. Not all websites or blog sites can be taken seriously
2. There was no Vatican 3 Council
3. The Pope did not say any of what is mentioned in this satire
4. The Catholic faith is often misunderstood and misrepresented by many people for what
think the Church is saying and not for what they really know.
You can freely share this with your contacts.
Linda please I beg you,blog about this,make it known 2 people that nothing wrong is in the catholic church.
He looks different from the last two popes,kind of exquist and humble too
ReplyDeleteit is obviously out of humility
ReplyDeleteI told y'all it is bcox he supports gay right, he is getting ol dis recognition!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, who's editor in chief of Esquire?!! This is ass-kissing! Apparently it's no longer enough to kiss the Pope's hand. Abegy, all the other popes dress humbly too and nothing's different in this one. There's more to this than meets the eye.
ReplyDeleteI believe you, pple should not be carried away, this man is a tool in d hands of some bad folks to destroy Christianity, no wonder Pope Benedict was forced to resign cos he wouldn't give in.
DeleteHmmn...Inspector Gadget! And you knew this how?
DeleteHmmmm d@s ma pope yaaaa
ReplyDeleteNot bad... He's alwys wel dresd afterall
ReplyDelete..And,the gay apologist of d year like funmi iyanda & suspectiung you linda as well
ReplyDeleteHaba Nigerians are so prejudiced! Why are you ppl not persecuting sexual deviants who go to bed with multiple partners and who have anal sex? Abegggi! Leave the gya alone, you are so small minded, we have bigger problems than them. They are good pp too,and consenting sex between two adults is not your business. How about you all channel that hateful energy towards those stealing our money, kidnapping our loved ones, and bombing shcools and public infrastructure?

ReplyDeleteHumility my foot! He was chosen because he supports gay rights. And we all know the people that dominate the fashion industry in america. Time gave his too cos we all know the people that dominate the political scene in America...Gays. So please. This pope will surprise the world very soon. I'm not a catholic but I love the office off the pope and the respect that comes with it. I believe that the former Pope resigned cos of the gay situation brewing in the papacy. May God help the followers of Christ
ReplyDeleteThis oyibo people should just leave his holiness with all this their worldly recognition.it is not necessary! #sad!
ReplyDeleteI love the pope sooo humble
ReplyDeleteMay God continue 2 strengthen u pope Francis as u work in his ministr, ur holiness.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the meaning of this? they should the holy father out of this their madness o
ReplyDeleteTop institutions are beginning to court the Pope's favour. This to me is worrisome especially with regards to the end times.

ReplyDeletePDP! Datz what they are not talking!
ReplyDeleteAwwww... His simplicity after all.
ReplyDelete~D great anonymous!

Gives room 4 anyone 2judge ur conscience good, or bad..not like most churches, dre strictly ask u 2 adhere 2dia individual perspective , ideologies, morales, nd force u 2abide by it, tell mi which catholic ideology is forced on it's members,
ReplyDeleteHoly communion is given 2 one whose hart is pure nd worthy of it..

This people with the best dressed and best this n that. Everybody should dress like the Pope then? The Pope is not impressed by all this patonising comments from all quarters, he is a man on a mission, just like all Popes. Leave him alone.
ReplyDeleteSimple by NATURE.
ReplyDeletelinda, post d new resolutions declared recently by pope francis now. "all religions are d same....hell is not real n satan is a personification"
ReplyDeletenemex
NSO .lindakairo said so
ReplyDeleteGod bless you papa francesco. I love u!
ReplyDeleteMadam Linda, the pope made some very disturbing proclamations yesterday. Where is that news? He says there's no hell, etc.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to my pope wish him more blessing
ReplyDeleteI advice all seek information, differentiate between fact and an opinion lest you make yourself a fool of an argument. The pope has never supported gays in his proclamations but reiterated that its is not in our place to judge and condemn sinners. The media and westernisation is trying their best to court him into popularism and also misrepresent his homilies. When he speaks ex-cathedra, he is infallible. When Christ declared building his church on Peter the first pope he did not promise absence of attack from the kingdom of hell but declared that the kingdom of hell shall not prevail against it. There is always human fraility in all human institutions but our Divine connections will always see us through.
