You know Rolling Stone Magazine? – Well they put The Pope on the cover!
“Up close, Pope Francis, the 266th vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth, a man whose obvious humility, empathy and, above all, devotion to the economically disenfranchised has come to feel perfectly suited to our times, looks stouter than on television,” the article in Rolling Stone announces. Mark Binelli is the journalist who wrote the 7,700 word cover story and the title is “The Times They Are A-Changing”. They havn’t changed so much that writers can’t comment on people’s girths though!
In addition. there is a story running on the internet:-
POPE NAMED PERSON OF THE YEAR BY GAY RIGHTS MAGAZINE – you need to google that – we don’t have any more news on this topic at present. Please try the internet.
The piece in Rolling Stone explores what it calls the “Pope’s Gentle Revolution” and deliberates over what makes the 77-year-old pontiff so revolutionarily different from his predecessors.
“Having famously dispensed with the more flamboyant pontifical accessories, he’s also surprisingly stylish, today wearing a double-breasted white overcoat, white scarf and slightly creamier cassock, all impeccably tailored.”
”
The scribe Binelli compares Pope Francis’ charm and charisma to that of a popular former US President – Bill Clinton to be exact – there are a multiple of dissimilarities between the two, one notably, Clinton’s “romantic escapades” with a number of “willing” and very submissive victims. Binelli’s feelings for the former Pope – Benedict – are different – he refers to Benedict as being like Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm Street.
