James Butler writing in the LRB of the late pope, Francis
I watched the ailing Francis insist on visiting prisoners, gaspingout greetings, being present for his Easter message, speaking against the madness of rearmament and war,squeezing every last opportunity to speak to the world as it continues to erect new prisons and walls, and new oligarchic idols. ‘Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers,’ Francis wrote in his last meditations on Good Friday. ‘Theirs is the construction site of Hell.’
Fill the gaps, as you think. We live within it.
