I'm just seeing if this will show up, since I can find a video that I uploaded, and I think may be lost permanently.
I can re-upload it, but, not the point.

BREAKING: Pope Francis dies at 88, ending historic pontificate marked by mercy and reform
I'm shocked. I knew #PopeFrancis was sick, but, as recently as #EasterSunday, he was at apparently giving blessings after #Mass.
For the Non-Catholics I have here, I think now would be a good time to research how the #Pope is chosen. Avoid any #conspiracytheorist websites that say he wasn't really the #Pope.
As for Pope Francis, #Restinpeace. I am curious who the next Pope will be. Pope Francis was the first Pope born in the Americas, and the first #Jesuit pope.
I remember telling my friend Bill (God rest his soul), that the next pope, "will be American", after Benedict died, and I was right! (SOUTH American is a type of American)!
I'm not going to make any predictions for the next Pope. But, I pray that he serves God and his #Church, and brings the #Gospel to the whole world. Pope Francis was really good at telling people, not just to know the Gospel, but to LIVE it.
He was also a friend to #EasternCatholics, and celebrated the #UkrainianGreekCatholic #DivineLiturgy in #Argentina, and spoke #Ukrainian to some extent
May he rest in peace!

How you know someone doesn't know what they're talking about
I see suggestions on #YouTube that say " #Mexican dad tries white people #tacos". #Mexico is one of the most diverse countries on earth. Or, "Rock vs Metal" quiz. Umm, Heavy Metal has historically been considered a derivative form of #HardRock music. Stuff like this is grating on my nerves.

Protestants do NOT own the word "Christian"
https://www.catholic365.com/article/49039/protestants-do-not-own-the-word-christian.html
If you're saying, "I'm a #Protestant, and I have no problem considering #Catholics to be #Christian". Good! This wasn't written for you, though.
This was written for the #Protestants who couldn't tell you what #Christianity is. The Protestants that condemn what they think are uniquely #Catholic beliefs, but fail to understand, that some Protestants (like #Lutherans) have similar beliefs.
To be sure, there are differences between #Lutheran beliefs and #Catholic beliefs, and I can't say there aren't any Protestants that condemn Lutheran beliefs.
But, what brought this up was a #YouTube video with the nonsense title "a #Christians thoughts on the #Pope's death" or something like that.
Hey, guess what religion #PopeFrancis was?
#Christian. More specifically, a Catholic Christian. I think there's this huge Protestant #echochamber that says "I'm 'just Christian'". NO ONE is "just Christian", and,...
