(LifeSiteNews) — We have a woke Pope Francis. “Woke” in the worst sense of the word. I’m not talking “woke” in the sense of being awake, being red-pilled, seeing what’s actually going on. No, no, no. “Woke” in that other sense of the word, much like Tony Fauci kind of woke.

It couldn’t be that Pope Francis was as mean and nasty as Tony Fauci bashing people and just making fun of them, right? Well, actually, yes.

Did you know that Pope Francis went after those who were complaining about forced vaccination, forced masking, and everything else?

In a November 2020 rant where he lets down his guard and allows his leftist colors to show more than in the past, the Pope said of anti-lockdown protesters: “You’ll never find such people protesting the death of George Floyd, or joining a demonstration because there are shantytowns where children lack water or education, or because there are whole families who have lost their income.”

His comments came in a teaser for the Pope’s book-length interview with leftist Vatican journalist Austen Ivereigh.

We know where Pope Francis is coming from. He’s coming from a very strange place. Did you know that right at the pandemic, when everything was being shut down and of course they shut down the Masses, they actually did something else?

They did a redo of Mass for pandemics. The reading, though, was very weird. The redo was all about removing any reference to God’s wrath. So, it used to be that in the old way we did the Mass for pandemics, we prayed for health and safety, and so on. But we also recognized that man’s sin is what has caused all the evil in the world, and so there was “Lord, turn away the wrath from us.” But not anymore.

But we can’t hate Pope Francis. We still have to pray for him, and pray for his conversion.
