Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio), 1936-2025.

Much will be said by many more knowledgeable than I about his papacy and its historical significance.

I'll only say that he seemed to me a very decent man in an age of indecency.

May his memory be a blessing.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
