From the only reliable source of news on the net, The Onion:
VATICAN CITY—Expressing surprise at how productive he had been during the pandemic, Pope Francis told reporters Wednesday that he had finally gotten close to finishing the Bible during the quarantine. “Usually, I’ll get to Numbers or Judges and then give up, but being cooped up has actually given me a nice chance to power through some of the boring Holy Covenant stuff and really see what all the fuss is about,” said the pontiff, noting that he always wanted to read the sacred text, but had often gotten sidetracked with papal duties, public events, or simply picking up a more immediately compelling read by Lee Child or Michael Connelly. “It kind of drags in the middle, which made me want to just put on a movie and relax. But then I thought, honestly, what else am I doing with my time holed up in the papal apartment?
Go here to read the rest. The Pope is looking for the next book to read. He was disappointed to learn that there is no Augustine or Aquinas for Dummies.
What’s even more disappointing is the fact most dummies exhibit a better understanding of Aquinas and Augustine than the pope.
No Augustine or Aquinas for Dummies?
There ought to be.
Pope Francis says that he is not the Vicar of Christ. No comment.
