Confesses to Stealing a Rosary
Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries]
"Pope Francis has confessed that he
took the rosary cross of his late
confessor from his casket. The
priest also heard the confession
from Pope John Paul II when he
visited Argentina. When the priest
died, Francis went to pray by his
open casket and was stunned that no
one had brought any flowers. `'This
man forgave the sins of all the
priests of Buenos Aires, but not a
single flower ...?" Francis
recalled. So he went out and bought
a bouquet of roses, and when he
returned to arrange them around the
casket, he saw the rosary the priest
still held in his hand. The pope
said, "And immediately there came to
mind the thief we all have inside
ourselves and, while I arranged the
flowers, I took the cross and looked
at him and said `Give me half your
mercy.'"

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Pope Francis has confessed that he took the rosary cross of his late confessor from his casket." Creepy, sinful and a total waste of time. If you are going to steal something, at least steal something worth stealing."
"[T]here is no
biblical foundation for claiming to
be a representative of Christ on
earth..."
