Pope Leo XIV

Initially, President Emmanuel Macron was not planning to attend any of Pope Leo XIV’s Masses during the visit to France. The Élysée had announced that he would skip the religious celebrations, including the huge Mass in Paris, where he was represented by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and his wife Brigitte Macron.

However, he changed his plans today. Macron rearranged his schedule and attended Pope Leo’s Mass at Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Metz, the final Mass of the papal visit. He also planned to take part in the Pope’s official farewell.

Pope has cancer. Has had a lobe of his right lung removed. No word yet if it is in his lymph nodes.

NEW: Melania Trump is taking credit for a temporary ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine, that Pope Leo XIV asked Vladimir Putin for from his hospital bed.

Leo phoned Putin on Oct. 16, three days after lung cancer surgery, then called Volodymyr Zelenskyy two days after he was released.

President Trump has spent much of this year attacking the American pope, once declaring that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.”

He may be the leader of the Catholic church, but Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV is still a registered voter in Illinois and requested a mail ballot for the midterm elections.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV is set to become the first sitting pontiff in the Catholic Church’s two-thousand-year history to vote in a secular election.

Leo requested an Illinois mail ballot on Oct. 3, and it was sent to his brother John’s home in New Lenox, Ill.

John Prevost visited the pope at the Vatican on Wednesday and may now be carrying the ballot back to the Will County clerk by hand.

"It was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form"

The monk approaches The Pope, "Shelter from the Storm" ringin' in the background.

Something's happening here and you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Pope?

Re Bob Dylan meeting Pope Leo in a hooded black cloak, remember what Bluegreen posted on the Hollyweird GreatAwakening thread back in 2019:

Bob Dylan sold his soul to the Devil

You know I can see old Bob doing a Crossroads bargain with Old Nick, Dylan started out OK, I like a few of his earliest compositions, 'Song for Woodie Guthrie' was a belter, Masters of war, Subterranean Homesick Blues. Like a Rolling stone seemed to kick off his 'pop career', then he just kept putting out album after album, his voice became more and more nasal, his style increasingly casual and self assured - he became ubiquitous, almost banal: Joni Mitchell really turned on him, I can't blame her, she is a musical genius, but no Nobel prize for her! Out of all the long term crew, Bob Dylan has that whiff of brimstone, I mean he really isn't that great...yes I know that's my opinion, I bet there are a few at least who agree?

A Santa Católica ✝️🇻🇦⚜️🔰🇧🇷🇱🇧

Translated from Portuguese
📌👇
Bob Dylan is Jewish👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿. He was born under the name Robert Allen Zimmerman (Hebrew name Shabtai Zisl ben Avraham) into a Jewish family in Minnesota, descended from Lithuanian and Ukrainian Jewish immigrants.

Although he has a complex religious identity, his connection to Judaism is reflected in various stages of his life:

• Childhood and Youth: He had a traditional Jewish upbringing and education, attended Jewish summer camps, and had his Bar Mitzvah in 1954.

• The Christian Transition: In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dylan converted to evangelical Christianity👿 (born-again Christian), even releasing gospel music albums.

• The Return to His Roots: Years later, he reapproached Judaism. He began studying with rabbis from the Chabad Hasidic movement👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿, participated in fundraising events for the Orthodox Chabad movement👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿 (where he appeared wearing a kippah), and held his own son's Bar Mitzvah at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Bob Dylan's work is deeply imbued with references to the Torah👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿, Jewish mysticism👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿, and the geopolitics of Israel👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿.

The Song about Israel👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿
"Neighborhood Bully" (1983): Released on the album Infidels, it is considered the most explicitly pro-Israel👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿 and Zionist👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿 rock song👿. Written after the 1982 Lebanon War and shortly after his son's Bar Mitzvah in Jerusalem, the lyrics use a satirical metaphor to defend Israel. Dylan describes the country as an "exiled man" surrounded by neighbors who outnumber him "a million to one," being unfairly labeled the "neighborhood bully" only for defending itself from constant attacks.

Kabbalah👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿 and Rituals👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿

• "Every Grain of Sand" (1981): Considered one of his most spiritual compositions, the song evokes a mystical and Kabbalistic vision of the world's pain and the constant presence of the Creator in every tiny particle of creation.

• "Gates of Eden" (1965): One of the few songs where he makes explicit reference to ancient Jewish rituals, with verses alluding to repentance and the practice of Tashlich (throwing bread crumbs into the water on Rosh Hashanah to symbolically cast away sins): "Who pick up on his bread crumb sins / And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden".

• "Talkin' Hava Nagilah Blues" (1962): An old and relaxed recording in which Dylan does an instrumental parody/tribute playing the melody of the classic Jewish folk song "Hava Nagila" on the harmonica.

Bob Dylan👿🇮🇱🕎✡️👿 admits to having sold his soul to the devil👿 in exchange for fame and wealth.
