Francis Underway With Diabolic "Ferula"

More takes on Francis's 'ferula'. I like the clothesline pole idea!

From Gloria.tv

During the October 3 Youth Synod's opening Mass Pope Francis used a wooden "ferula" which ends in two limbs looking like the devil's horns.

On social media Francis was compared to Harry Potter on his way to a “quidditch match”, to Gandalf in “The Lord of the Rings” or to Simon the Magician in Acts 8.

Others found that the stick could be used to hold up a washing line.

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.
