VATICAN CITY — At an Easter vigil in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis on Saturday encouraged people to resist cynicism or pursuing the “glitter of wealth,” and to avoid seeking life’s meaning in “things that pass away.”

“Do not bury hope!” Francis exclaimed, after noting that when things go badly, “we lose heart and come to believe that death is stronger than life.”

“We become cynical, negative and despondent,” Francis added.

“Why not prefer Jesus, the true light, to the glitter of wealth, career, pride and pleasure?”

Because, unlike you, Jesus isn't paying my rent. You don't have to worry about finding a mate because of your unbiblical vow of celibacy that, judging by the rampant pedophilia in your ranks, isn't even being followed. You can afford to trivialize the suffering of His children because you never suffer yourself.
