I wonder which meeting Pope Francis enjoyed more: The one with Merkel or the one with Chiselinā€™ Trump. Can you tell?

Yes, and itā€™s nice that there was a mention of the death of former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl yesterday.

As noted in this report from Reuters yesterday:

"Kohl was a driving force behind the introduction of the euro currency, persuading skeptical Germans to give up the deutschemark, a cherished symbol of the ā€œeconomic miracleā€ of the 1950s and 1960s.

An imposing figure who formed an unlikely personal bond with socialist French President Francois Mitterrand in pushing for closer European integration, Kohl, a conservative, had been frail and used a wheelchair since suffering a bad fall in 2008.

By committing to anchor Germany within Europe under a common currency, he overcame resistance to reunification from Mitterrand, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher, the British prime minister who feared the return of a powerful, united Germany."

I never tire of coming up with descriptions for that grouping of the Pope and Trump family members. The Pope looks disgusted, Donald looks childish, and the women look totally clueless as to what spirituality should mean.

Deliver us from evil. People have been praying for over 2,000 years about Trump?

Itā€™s like a threatening cloud hangs over the Trump vultures and crows who lurk opposite The Dove. While you can almost feel the joy of God in the group of global warming believers.

Hey, wait a minute! Damien was in the picture I posted. But it was the grown up Damien. Heā€™s the one with the too-long necktie.
