 Congressman sips from Pope Francis's discarded glass of water

Pope bands? So boring. Pope dolls? So kitsch. In the great panoply of papal merchandise, congressman Bob Brady of Philadelphia may just have clinched the very best: the Holy Father’s glass of water.

Pope Francis was sipping from the glass during his speech to Congress on Thursday, and when he made his way out of the chamber he left his drink unattended. That’s where Brady stepped in.

Like a bachelor party attendee spotting a discarded pint, the Democratic congressman plucked Francis’s glass from the lectern. Rather than immediately down the drink, however, he carried it to the confines of his office, to enjoy the pontiff’s water in peace.

“I took a sip out of it,” Brady told the Philadelphia Daily News. His wife Debra and two of Brady’s staffers also quaffed some. “How many people do you know that drank out of the same glass as the pope?” Brady said.

The Daily News said a presumably excited Brady invited Senator Bob Casey into his office to behold the glass of water. “The three dipped their fingers into the glass. Pictures were taken, joy was in the air,” the paper reported.

Once the trio had withdrawn their fingers Brady “poured the rest of the water into a bottle”. He now plans to bless his four grandchildren with the fluid.

That is, um, rather disturbing?

I mean, His Holiness is head of the Church and rates respect, but he's still just a man.  :shrug:

Extremely disturbing. Plus the fact that this is Pope-Che.  :smokin:

Those are some bragging rights, eh??   **nononono*

I guess he thinks he now has a free pass to heaven?  Unreal, truly disturbing. Pope-che is human. I remember when my grandmother had something blessed by the pope at the time. I remember how happy everyone was. I was as well. Now seeing what this pope is spewing and what the globalist are doing, it is just truly disturbing. Just like Hitler taking whatever they want. Nobody stopping them.

And the truly sick thing is that if he didn't believe in the faith of enviro-wacko, none of them would even give him the time of day.

It's all about the climate-change communism.

Do you despise everyone who says something you don't like?  What a miserable way to live.

Disapproving of this pope does not constitute hatred of the Catholic church. Disagreement with this pope does not constitute hatred at all.

It's just disagreement. Get over it.
