Francis candidly jokes that ‘witch doctor’ is behind his stamina

Francis on his way to Chile.

On the papal airplane from Rome to Chile, Francis offered his latest off the cuff quip.

“Loud laughter accompanied the joke Francis made in response to the query asked by Cristiana Caricato, a journalist of TV2000, who, (upon) greeting him, had asked him: “We want to know what the doctor gives you so that we can take it too, we who struggle just as you do” — a reference to Bergoglio’s stamina during these trips. “But I do not go to the doctor, I go to the witch!”, he said, laughing with gusto.”

As is usual with Francis’ jokes there is always a grain of truth to his answers.  In the past Francis has:

• told several blasphemous jokes about Our Lord (see #1, #2, #3),

• told a blasphemous joke about the Holy Trinity,

• blasphemously joked about St. Peter’s crucifixion,

• mocked an altar boy for his piety,

• mocked the confirmation ceremony with a joke,

• joked about breaking papal protocol,

• taught his Godson how to swear and laughed as this Godson swore in the middle of his Novus Ordo mess,

• joked to his rabbi handler that he was trapped in Rome when elected,

• mocked the account of God creating Eve in Genesis,

• joked that bishop’s mitres resemble Burlamacco the clown’s hat,

• mocked theology,

• joked that he is a Jew,

• routinely makes fun of the Church,

• said jokingly he is a devotee of the broom, and

• we could go on but we think one gets the point.

All of these ‘jokes’ reveal facets of Francis’ inner-Jew.  Francis publicly maintains that, “One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people’s faith, one cannot make fun of faith.”  Notice what he never jokes about Talmudic Judaism, the Holocaust, or noahidism — a synthesis of all heresies.  All these are strictly off limits while the Catholic faith is open to mocking jests.  We are digressing, returning to Francis reply, Francis does see witch doctors — typically they come to visit him.  Below are two of the witch doctors whom have visited Francis in the Vatican.

Liu Ming is a Taoist monk (aka witch) who has been Jorge Bergoglio’s
doctor since 2004.  He disturbingly practices Reiki energy on Francis.

A shaman (aka witch) performs an incantation on 

Francis (15 February 2017) in the Vatican.

So one can see the truth in Francis’ latest joke.  The question arises whom is Francis mocking when he jokingly but truthfully replies that ‘visits from witch-doctors give him stamina’?  Simply, the answer is the typical pewsitter that thinks Francis is a practicing Catholic.  Francis has nothing but contempt for these people as his mocking jests and  candid jokes reveal.
