  1. 2000 years of playing religion while enslaving the masses in debt

  2. WTF this dude spent a life covering up for pesos –

  3. “The World” might be a stretch.

  4. Worthless Dead Pope. the World does not care.

  5. Honor the sexual predators spiritual leader because he is dead. Yeah, that is progressive. Please! Hell is not full. Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed. He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

  6. No, only the sick people who love him are morning him

  7. He may be the spiritual head of the world's largest Christian church, but a cousin of Pope Benedict the XVI says that he is still a naughty boy to her.

    Steffie Brzakovic, 78, of Cooma, received a call from her famous first cousin shortly after his election in a papal conclave in April.

    It was the first time she had heard from him in more than 50 years.

    Mrs. Brzakovic, who was raised in the southern Germany city of Weilheim before moving to Australia in 1956, said she remembered Joseph Ratzinger as a young boy who was often up to no good.

    "He was everywhere he shouldn't [have] been, she recalled yesterday, shaking her head. "When I think today of what we did, it's a wonder that [we are] alive."

    When she received the phone call three months ago she first thought it was a prank. It wasn't until His Holiness told her it was "Ratzinger Pepi", referring to his childhood nickname, that she realized who was on the other end.

    "I said, 'Are you the Pope?' and he [replied]. 'But for you I am still Ratzinger Pepi'."

    Mrs. Brzakovic was raised as a Roman Catholic, but became a Jehovah's Witness in the 1970's.

    She said that while her religious differences with her family had caused frustration, the Pope had encouraged her for following her faith.

    "He told me that 'You are doing the work that we should do'," she said, referring to her church's missionary work. "He said, 'You have halls that are not too big, but they are full. We have cathedrals, churches, chapels and they are empty'."

    Mrs. Brzakovic is spending this weekend at a Jehovah's Witness convention in Canberra with about 3000 district worshippers.

    its only a matter of time before we get the The Pontifex Maximus down to a bible study! Once he realises that we have 'the truth', then he shall issue a Papal bull stating that all Catholics should become witnesses, and then we shall be in the big time, lookout the haters!

  8. I ain’t mourning for that devil worshiper 😂

  9. Is "The World" really mourning…

  10. The man who protected pedo priests. May he rot in hell

  11. Remember Pope Nicholas the V authorized the enslavement of the Native Americans and the Jews that resided in Spain, Portugal and the West Africa be forced to slavery in the Americas aka the NEW WORLD!!

  12. The heathen WORLD morns. The WORLD without end knows that another Devil has died!!!

  13. I hope that bastard felt the pain, fear and sorrow of every victim of the perverted, child molesting, sex offender priest he protected. Good riddance to rotten garbage.

  14. The new upper wizard is happy the old wizard is gone…and with this old lizard, a lot of secrets about child abuse….

  15. What’s the difference between Eggs Benedict and Pope Benedict? – Eggs Benedict didn’t spend thirty years covering up for paedophile Catholic priests.

  16. Interesting how 2023 said HECK NO to the darkness of the past. 1st the queen… now the pope (lowercase on purpose). I’m feeling this trend!

  17. I made some biscuits and gravy for breakfast

  18. Mourning this person wearing gowns No Way 🤮 Pathetic Unhealthy Uneducated LOL reporting from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and the good old USA

  19. Remembering him as the protector of the child abusers!

  20. The world mourns??? Don't think so. The Catholic Church is the most vile and disgusting organisation in the history of man.

  21. Look at the marble and gold and expensive silk robes and the secret bank accounts. Look at the starving children who need vaccinations and education. Then look up and think it shouldn't be like this.

  22. The kings of Vatican City aka Mystery Babylon :  
    1st King –  Pius XI
    2nd King – Pius XII
    3rd King – John XXIII
    4th King – Paul VI
    5th King – John Paul I
    6th King – John Paul II
    7th King – Benedict XVI 
    8th King- Francis I 

    Revelation 17:10-11 ~ "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."

    An angel carried the apostle John away to the wilderness and showed him a vision of the Whore of Babylon (Vatican City) during the reign of the 6th king John Paul II ("and one is").   The 7th king who "must continue a short space" was Benedict who reigned almost 8 years before resigning.  Benedict is the first pope in 600 years to resign. The 8th king, who is of the seven former kings, is Francis.  When Benedict resigned Francis took his position as the 7th king.  Now Francis is officially the 8th king, who is of the seven former kings.  Revelation 17 says that the 8th king is the Antichrist. 

    Revelation 18:4-5 ~ "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."

  23. The WORLD ?… except for the many who are gleeful.

  24. Nobody is mourning ABC News….

  25. the world ?? are all your news like this ??

  26. The reptile just shed its skin

  27. I’m very happy reading these comments the media likes to paint narratives… People are not mourning this former kid Nazi who tried to cover up wide spread child molestation instead of dealing with it he blamed the “1960’s sexual revolution” instead of looking into the more obvious celibacy oaths, which turned priests into depraved sexual deviants… He stepped down for a reason… He might be roommates with Hitler 🔥🔥🔥 as opposed to Mother Teresa 😇

  28. Nope some are dancing in the streets. Alter boys around the world breathing a sigh of relief 😂

  29. “The world mourns”? …..not by any in these comment sections. I grieve for the multitude of children who were robbed of their innocence by those predators and those who passed the abusers on to other perishes to continue their damaging, destructive ways. I do NOT mourn, not at all.

  30. Guess one of the little boys had a cold or something

  31. Chill Out on Papa Bennie. He was just to 💩 Pooped to Pope…

  32. The world morns? You would be hard pressed to find 20 people who knew he was even still alive.

  33. The world? I think not. Another cover up king gone…. and after reading the comments looks like most people agree

  34. Altar boys all across the world…rejoice!

  35. The world mourns,? no we do not ,

  36. These evil popes are getting their punishment for making a sham out of our Christian faith.

  37. The world?? HA!! Classic 🤣

  38. As if ABC cares, Bunch of Godless Pagans.
    Their souls are on track for Eternal Damnation.

  39. 2022- The queen and pope died
    Hopefully, 2023 will continue the onslaught onto the elites.

  40. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved! He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life.
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus the Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood.

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal. This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins.)

  41. He wasn't a Christian – not welcome in Chillingbourne or Heaven!!! John 14:6.
