Tap In: Pope Francis Was A Relatively Real One

on my socials. But it's also gonna be times where maybe a story broke in between the recording and the dropping of this week's episode, and it's something that maybe doesn't warrant a full show, but we definitely need to stop and talk about this one. Ain't gonna be no good time because this one's about the Pope. Seeing as how there's one point four billion Catholics, this particular pope, Pope Francis, is pretty unique. Let me just take a minute tap in with y'all and talk about why this

nigga was different. This episode is called we relatively speaking, lost the real one. Tap in with me, baby, all right. Pope Francis, he died at eighty eight. He's unique in a lot of ways, one of which is the fact that he's the first Latin American pope ever. Now, if you wasn't going to any sort of mass, you just regular church folk. You may be deceived into thinking that Catholics ain't Christians, but you have to remember up until

the fifteen hundreds, all churches were Catholic. I'm referring to the Protestant Reformation. But don't think you're not connected to this. But even if you're not religious at all, you have to appreciate a person that moves culture as powerfully as a pope. But this ain't no theology. Course. We talking about Pope Francis, Pope being sick. He was from Brana, Saidrez Argentina. He don't come from money. That's one of the reasons that makes him so unique. He don't really

come from money. That boy name is Jorge, Italian immigrant family really just built different in relation to the rest of the other posts that's being before him now. In the same way that I say I come from the church and Christian traditions, I come from a black and urban church. I don't come from you know, trump loving, evangelical power hungry. I don't come from that. I come from a different tradition that built underground railroads and fought

for the civil rights movement. Pope Francicas can say the same thing fratchscan ordered Jesuit. They are not like the Medici winniperisera power hungry. They built different, which is what made him so different. That's not to say that just like my tradition got his problems, his tradition got his problems.

And if we're grading on a curve in relation to the two posts before him, this man a dog on black Panther, Pope Benedict, Pope John Paul the Second considered themselves a return to orthodoxy, very conservative, and a lot of the reasons, why I believe it or not, people had been leaving in droves the Catholic Church. I'm just quoting stat y'all. So you have that high rich, incredibly stick nef version. But then you have the version of

the desert Mothers and the Desert Fathers. If you get a chance to read stuff like that, francescan order that believed in aesthetics and that God's first incarnation of himself was creation. And if you believe the first way that God revealed himself as creation, therefore creation is holy, and

all of God's creatures are holy, including the earth. So you already got somebody by just the strength of his name, is going to support issues to mitigate climate change, and is going to advocate for humans despite whatever faith they got that's already out the name. This the tradition that builds hospitals. The Claptom group that are the reason people in jail have civil rights. You know the fact that

they get three meals a day. That's because of William Wilberford's in the Clapton group, who of course has issues. But again these are two different tracks. Pope Francis as a Jesuit, who are known for their embracing of poverty, supporting of the suffering and the downtrodden, and doing something called descending into the particulars when it comes to the things that are right or wrong. For example, is it

wrong to lie? I mean, yeah, it's one of the sins. However, what if this is not Germany and there's some Jews you're hiding under your house? Still wrong? They lie? Jesuits descending into the particular. Now, having said that, so, Pope Francis in a lot of ways symbolized a return to in some ways the Catholic Church first Love, which was service to the poor as an act of worship today God, So because of that he was seen as too woke by some of them, but also a lot of people

was like, man, this the faith. I fell in love with this, the Jesus that I thought I were. Enter Jorge, normal kid, actually wanted to be a scientist, gets his epiphany whatever however apocryphal. That story is joins the priesthood. Through a series of things they win, got time for becomes the Bishop of Buenos Aires, which is a super big deal if you've ever been to Argentina or just

understand South America and Catholics. But the picture that made its rounds because his name started he you know, he started buzzing around town because there was this picture that went around of this man riding the bus and it's like, ooh, he different, you different. So fast forward to twenty thirteen. Pope Benedict the Second retires, which is something that don't

ever happen. Now, you have to remember the popes have been Italian for thousands of years, and since Pope Benedict was such a hall monitored rule following just not embracing modernity. The idea that Francis followed up after this was a big deal. This man only spoke Spanish. He refused to do homilies in Latin because don't nobody speak Latin. Give the word to the people. You can make your argument about changing the system from within or burning it down

and starting over. I'm gonna let y'all flesh that out in the comments. The way that Pope Francis did is he like, well, if I'm in charge, remember, because he comes from the bottom and his perception of how the world works is one that says you should be near to the broken hearted. So he went incredibly hard for refugees, for the suffering, and just known for these grand gestures. He ain't drive around in that Pope mobile. He even said when he passes that he don't want no big

old orn ages put me in a wooden box. I ain't with all that get the money to the kids. He was more a return to the direction that the church was already on its way to, and John Paul and Pope Benedict were like two old school big Homie has not held his tongue throughout most of our refugee crises, Syrian, our border situation, this war in Gaza. He ain't held his tongue, which is really cool to hear bare minimum on the LGPTQ front, but at least he spoke up

and said something. I mean, it's a two thousand year old institution with one point four billion people. It's really hard to move an institution that large. You gotta do small steps. I guess still on that celibate papalc with all males, he still think if you got a vagina, you can't be a priest. Now, like I said, grating on a curve is still something, but he was really

being about what he talked about. One of the quotes is hypocrisy is to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or is thirsty, tossed out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am a Christian but do these things, I am a hypocrite. Good for you. Pope Francis in his final homily, there is something sort of poetic in passing away on Resurrection Sunday

and giving these words. What he says is, I would like us to renew our hope that peace is possible from the Holy Sepulcher from the Church of Resurrection, where this year's Easter is being celebrated. By Catholics and Orthodox on the same day. May the light of peace radiate through the Holy Land and the entire world. I express my closeness to the sufferings of Christians in Palestine and Israel,

and to all the Israeli people and Palestinian people. The growing climate of anti Semitism throughout the world is worrisome. Yet in the same I think people of Gaza and it's Christian community in particular, where the terrible conflict continues to cause death and destruction and create a dramatic, deplorable humanitarian situation. I appeal to the warring parties, call the seas fire, release the hostages, come to the aid of

starring people that aspires for a future of peace. Grading on a curve, he doing better than almost every popit in our church, unless you're black. But we're gonna put that on the side. And now the fun part. JD. Vance. He the most memorable man on earth. Every time he touched some break y'all see that man break the dog Holt Championship trophy man. What the hell is wrong with

this man? Do you know what the story is? The Pope ain't want to meet him, tell that he had to send a cardinal out there to be like, tell that man, just all I'm asking just be a little you mean as fuck man. He didn't say fuck, He just like you just mean. I'm just I'm not with it. Even after meeting with JD's vance, He's called their deportation plans a disgrace and not Christian, letting y'all know that's

what the man said. Hit go another Pope Burner. What a great thirst for death, for killing we witness each day in many conflicts raging in different parts of the world. How much violence we see directed towards women and children, how much contempt is stirred up towards the vulnerable, the marginalized,

the migrants. On this day, I would like for us to hope anew and to revise our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or whom come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of ideas for all of us, our children of God. Yeah, we lost a relatively real one. Now who knows where we're going next.

Apparently Pope Francis selected one hundred and eight out of one hundred and thirty five cardinals, and what he did this time was he got these cardinals from all over the world, most of them from conflict regions, areas where there's high diversity of religious beliefs. Because the pope believes in DEI Lord, may God grant us another woke pope.

But I'll leave y'all with this, the question every black person on Earth is asking, or at least every black person in America is asking right now, who won't do the body tap in with me?
