“You’re looking so well, darling, you really are. They’ve done a marvelous job. I don’t know what sort of cream they’ve put on you down at the morgue but I want some. Honestly, you look better than you have in years. You look like you’re alive.”

I'm not religious at all, but I can respect people who actually listen to the teachings of their holy book and use it to spread peace rather than to use it as justification to be a shit human being. Pope Francis was a progressive voice that the world needed, and I only hope that his successor doesn't undo the good he was trying to do.
