From The Remnant
The secular media was alive with it!
It was broadcast in Times Square!
Millions watched as the People's Pope unveiled his fine papal portrait...
Have a look for yourself:
Yeah, lots of vibes going on there... you got the Fabio-esque mood lighting, the 80s-style brush strokes, the 70s collage craze, the "let's pretend children love him" pose, the God complex, the flattering weight loss, and the um... rainbow over the Vatican?
What audience is falling for this?
Check out some official portraits of previous popes:
Innocent X
(That look is the reason this is one of the most famous papal portraits of all time.)
(That look is the reason this is one of the most famous papal portraits of all time.)
Pius X
Pius XII
Even, although cheesy, this one... Benedict XVI
Here are images of popes on their throne, looking every inch the ruler, as they should be. They are not, however, making themselves out to be Jesus Christ Himself.
Francis the Humble didn't commission a portrait at all. What he has is a propaganda mural taken seriously by only the blindest sycophants.
Just compare those portraits once more: Which popes look more secure in their legacy?
It's no wonder that spoofs of this papal vanity shot are already crowding cyberspace:

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
