This version of The Weekly Francis covers material released in the last week from
2 October 2016 to 11 October 2016.
The Weekly Francis is a compilation of the Holy Father’s writings, speeches, etc which I also post at Jimmy Akin’s The Weekly Francis. Jimmy Akin came up with this idea when he started “The Weekly Benedict” and I have taken over curation of it.

So Victor… What do YA think about YAR Papa’s UP HER, I mean about what Francis said about his Glorious Mother?
Come on sinner vic! Don’t be like that!… Be nice now! What’s wrong with His Holiness Pope Francis loving his Mother who is in Heaven?… Like Papa Francis said in so many words above… Long story short… sinner vic, if “IT” was good enough for “The Rock” of Jesus who first believed that an angel called Gabriel appeared to His Blessed Mother Mary and that this angel also told her to go visit John The Baptist who would be born in three months… Why sweat “IT” sinner vic?… So Papa and many other Catholic people believe in celebrating the fact that Mary carried “Humanity” in her womb and yes some have even made Shrines in order to war ship, “I” mean worship her but if truth be known that’s not every body’s fait… Most Christians including Catholics know that their hearts only worship Mary as “Respect” for taking care of Her First Born Son “JESUS THE CHRIST” our Lamb of GOD… “I” dare say that any so call preachers who spread rumors that “Our Heavenly Mother” can’t help US (USUAL SINNERS)… “I” mean a sin is a sin and the world should know that Mary was “The Chosen “ONE” and just because she had other children does not change that fact… sinner vic… just try to imagine seeing YAR son having to carry His Cross and then being nailed to “IT”… How hard would “IT” be to believe that Jesus had His Face wiped while doing so and then said to those crying wo man in so many words… Don’t weep for me but for YAR future children… What good would “IT” do if Papa Francis had said more to non believe hers, “I” mean believers… sinner vic maybe His Holiness will write a little booklet letting cat licks, “I” mean good Catholics should know that while on His Cross, Jesus verbally in so many words gave all of US (USUAL SINNERS) His Mother for Eternity and all we need do is accept HER… Longer story shorter… He never said that “IT” would be easy for all “MAN”… sinner vic… I’m going to close by saying… God Bless All Mothers who respect The Mother of Jesus Christ our Savior… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQZmni-oeg4
“It is by loving that the God-who-is-Love is proclaimed to the world.” Papal Tweet. Pope Francis speaks far better than me.
and again. “We Christians have a Mother. the same Mother that Jesus had” etal
