It will be really funny if later today or tomorrow, the WH has to have a meeting on what to do about their Vance/Pope problem. :popcorn:

I was in seminary when Francis was elected. We heard in a film class at the Dominican seminary. The Jesuits were quite smug, and we Unitarian Universalists were relieved. I’ll miss this Pope!

So, actually not a sicko?

Anyway sorry, I’m not a trekkie, so I don’t want to bog things down with my ignorance.

Onward!

It’s a pun; in the original image, the shirt says “sickos.” :wink:

Back to topic:

I didn’t always agree with Pope Francis (I didn’t think he went far enough in his reforms for my personal taste), but I very much respected his attempts to refocus the Church on Jesus’s message of love for others. I wish he’d had more time, and I fear the more regressive forces in the institution may try to erase the progress he did make now that he’s gone.

No, not at all an actual Sicko! It’s a reference to that meme and to the sometimes over the top facial expressions Avery Brooks would make…

Best captain.

also… I just remember that my new shirt should be coming this week!!!

Yay!

I see, thanks for explaining. I got the pun after hearing his name, but not the additional ref to his facial expressions. I can see why insiders find that hilarious. :+1:
