John Nelson+FollowPope Francis’ Funeral Was Shockingly SimpleDid you hear? Pope Francis totally rewrote the rules for papal funerals—literally! Instead of the usual over-the-top Vatican send-off, he wanted something way more low-key. No triple coffins, no grand procession, and he even chose to be buried outside the Vatican. The whole vibe was about being a humble servant, not a world leader. Even his final resting place is all about honoring Mary, not making a spectacle. Honestly, it’s such a power move for someone so famous! #PopeFrancis #Vatican #FuneralRites #CatholicChurch #BreakingTradition #Culture2229Share

otaylor+FollowWhy Did Pope Francis Never Go Home?Pope Francis never returned to Argentina after becoming pope, and everyone’s got theories. Some say he wanted to dodge the country’s wild politics, others think he just felt more at home in Rome. His popularity at home dropped big time, and political drama with leaders like Milei and the Kirchners didn’t help. Still, some locals remember him as the 'slum bishop' who really cared. Wild how the world’s first Latin American pope never made it back! #PopeFrancis #Argentina #Vatican #WatercoolerMoment #CatholicChurch #Culture15950Share
Teresa Graham+FollowPope Francis’ Final Wishes RevealedBig news from the Vatican: Cardinals are gathering to plan Pope Francis’ funeral after his passing at 88 from a stroke.

World leaders like King Charles and Trump are set to attend. End of an era for the first Latin American pope! #PopeFrancis #Vatican #BreakingNews #CatholicChurch #WorldNews #Culture10842Share
