YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Pope Francis has passed at the age of 88, and shortly after he met U.S. Vice President JD Vance. In this video I discuss what Pope Francis advocated for, the lesson Francis left JD Vance, and the wilful ignorance on display in Vance's reaction to the news.
