***** WARNING ****

Francis watched the immodestly dressed circus performers gyrate and prance around to rock 'n roll music including the song, ‘Jump’ by Van Halen

Francis also met actor Joseph Fiennes.

Did he congratulate him for his 2003 portrayal of Martin Luther?

Before that Francis kissed a lot of children and waved to the crowd.

 He gave a young boy and girl a ride in the Popemobile.

 Here's a shot of the crowd listening to him talk about Mercy & Justice.

Do not covet the Talmudists ownership of the Vatican's theology nor Francis' visit to their synagogue.

Happy Day of Judaism!

Tomorrow is the day!

Riccardo Di Segni on Francis, “We are waiting for a surprise.”

“Francis’s visit to the synagogue will be far closer to a family reunion precisely because the blessed new positive Catholic-Jewish relationship has become almost normative, and Francis is overwhelmingly seen as a true friend of the Jewish people, which indeed he is,” said Rabbi David Rosen, the American Jewish Committee’s international director for interreligious affairs.

Rosen added, “Three in Jewish tradition is a hazakah — that is, a confirmation. And now,” after this third papal visit, “it will almost be impossible for a pontiff not to visit the Rome Great Synagogue as well as to visit the State of Israel.”

Here's the devotion Francis helped invent and which he has pushed since he saw a painting in the church of St. Peter am Perlach located in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany during his studies for his never completed doctoral thesis on Romano Guardini.  God willing in the future, Call Me Jorge... will have more on the subject of Mary Untier of Knots.
