Today, the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis.

He inspired millions, far beyond the Catholic Church, with his humility and love so pure for the less fortunate.

Our thoughts are with all who feel this profound loss.

May they find solace in the idea that Pope Francis’ legacy will continue to guide us all toward a more just, peaceful and compassionate world.

@EUCommission the world's celebrating actually sounds like a skill issue
@chjara @[email protected] I don't know if this is supposed to be satire or not, but this is extremely insensitive, especially to the people who are Roman Catholic or in general are Catholic.
@TwodpadsDown @chjara How so? I can't understand any issue with that post. Catholics on theother side are insensitive when touting their 'values'.
@EUCommission binary biological sex is a eugenic hoax

@jackie @EUCommission

Now is not the time to be saying stuff like this, especially when a pretty big historical religious figure just died. This is absolutely extremely insensitive. Talking about binary biological sex in a conversation where someone literally just died is extremely inappropriate. You can have talks about your own beliefs in a different conversation now is not the time.

@TwodpadsDown @jackie @EUCommission

You know what it's never the time for? Being a stupid ass bootlicking sycophant. What are you even doing here? Go back to Shitter where you belong. "Oh it wasn't a Nazi salute" wtf
As your dear leader says tell it to the earth and fuck off

@EUCommission please don't forget his last message, do not produce or buy other weapons. #NoMoreWeapons

@migbox And let RuZZians conquer Ukraine? No! Give Ukraine all the weapons they need!

@EUCommission

@migbox @EUCommission this exactly! Don't just preach his image, preach his ideals.

@migbox @EUCommission No, we NEED to produce our own weapons and many at that.
With the US slowly withdrawing more and more from Europe, we absolutely need this to ensure our national armies (and hopefully soon also an EU army) are equipped to the point it'll work as proper deterrent in place of US.

Russia (and China to a lesser degree) only understands Great Power politics.

@Kethianna @EUCommission to all the people who are contesting my post:
Any opinion is welcome, but if you are sorrow for Pope Francis ' death, you have to reflect and respect his message.
And of course do all that you can to make it possible.
All things are impossible until someone proves all they are.

@migbox @EUCommission I respect Pope Fracis' death and his messages, and believe quite a few of them were good, though not all.

Here he's right, but there's also something called time and place. Now isn't the time to NOT re-arm. Turning the cheek to something may be the right thing to do normally, but against bullies it's sadly something that only invites further violence.

We can start downsizing our militaries again once Putin's gone and someone who wants peace are in charge of Russia.

@migbox
Say that to Putin. (And make sure to stay away from any windows while doing so.)

@EUCommission He didn't inspire me. He made me feel disgusted at the depth of his covering up of sexual abuse in my country France, all around the Union, and all over the world. His progressive veneer was hardly convincing.

The Commission should not glorify the memory of a man whose acts and institution stand against our Convention on Human Rights along with numerous citizens of the EU, particularly LGBT+ people, survivors of sexual abuse, and women at large.

@EUCommission fuck this pedophile enabler and transphobic liar!!!

@cairobraga @EUCommission

I understand why you may not believe the same things that Pope Francis believes in, but the fact that you're commenting this on a post talking about his death and how he just died a couple hours ago is extremely insensitive. On top of that, this is also extremely offensive to one of the biggest religions on the face of the Earth. Do better.

@EUCommission I have to share this with you, and that's I watched the movie "Angels and Demons" early in the morning, so when I saw later the news, I've just wondered what was that. I'm sorry for a loss, but life goes on.
Unless the less fortunate happened to be gay in countries where the sect he run fosters a climate of hatred and intolerance that makes them "less fortunate" to begin with. Also, unless they were unfortunate enough to be victims of sexual violence which his death cult then made sure to cover up and move the predators to poorer countries, etc.

@EUCommission

Eh, I'm not really that into wizards and stuff.

@EUCommission
He was a GOOD man!
Let us pray his successor also is.
@EUCommission He was a progressive Pope. Lets see if the Vatican keeps this trend.
@EUCommission Morto 'n papa se ne fa n'antro. Tanto so tutti uguali, tutti preti.
@EUCommission hi european commission could you please put a content warning on death and pope-related content
@EUCommission if anything is clear from Jesus teachings it was to help the poor so his focus on that was spot on. Rest in peace
