Thanks for the touching eulogy Wayne. By far the best one I have read today. Whatever faith you practice, Pope Francis set examples of humility and kindness, that all claiming to be religious should follow.

Thank you very much! I was usually very impressed by the things he did and said.

Beautifully written, Wayne. Thank you for showing the emulation of what was meant to be Christ--ianity, so lost in the misogynistic power grab and the so-called Princes of the Church with tithing that took the very bread from the mouth of families and our own Canadian portion of the Residential "schools" that took "suffer the little children" literally. As followers of religion seem to dwindle the good role models and creeds of decency that are part of most faith teachings, a truly good person, not a faultless saint, but someone who stands out because they walk the talk, is more critical by the day. Pax nobiscum

Thank you! I’ve heard it’s been shared in a few church bulletins and tribute pieces, which is a real honour—especially as someone who isn’t Catholic. I’m grateful they found the reflections true enough to pass on.

A true Francis. Wayne, maybe you should convert. The miracles God does to souls.

I'm no longer a practicing Catholic but very much appreciated this man. Thank you, Wayne, for the education you provided.
