  1. TIL Popes had wills

    Also, that’s so nice. You’ve got to appreciate people who do something good for others on their way out

  4. Leave it to our ex-bouncer pope to keep swinging from beyond the grave.

  6. >Caram, who has traveled to Ukraine more than 20 times since Russia launched its full-scale invasion, said the gesture deeply moved her. “He did tell me, in our meetings, that he would help me in some way, but I didn’t imagine he would do it like this,” she said, according to a news report published on Dec. 2.
    >
    >The nun heads the Santa Clara Convent Foundation in the Spanish town of Manresa and has been involved in delivering medical assistance and evacuation support in front-line regions.

    That Nun deserves mad respect.

  7. Whitewashing his calls for capitulation to end the violence. Comes out right after Pope Leo takes a real stance. 

  8. How much money does a Pope have? Obviously, the Vatican has an obscene amount but I would expect Francis who lived humbly and didn’t seem to care much for material things to have hardly any.

  9. How the fuck does the pope make money? Everything is provided for them, organized religion is a scam and a tax cheat

  10. but don’t forget that war needs more than ambulances. Peace talks, diplomacy, accountability. Ambulances save lives today, but don’t end wars tomorrow

  11. A fund for the victims of paedophilia would be better

  13. “Oh, that’s nice, isn’t it? I’m glad they’re getting something, ’cause they have a hell of a time.”

  14. Do popes even have wages? I always thought that catholic clergy just get directly supplied by the church with all they need.

  15. Maybe he should have spent some of that cash on an ambulance at the Vatican

  16. Good thing he didn’t choose Palestine. Ambulances there gets shoot at and then buried in the sand by IDF

  17. People of the Catholic church have no monetary assets. They take a vow of poverty.

  19. The pope on his death bed, literally: “Buy an ambulance, but not for me”

  20. Zelensky will use them to kidnap more civilians to throw them on the front line

  21. It’s a good action.

    Still Ukrainians will remember Francis for his in inability to condemn Russia for almost ten years of the Russia-Ukraine war. Ukrainians will remember him for forcing Ukrainian woman to walk along the Russian woman on Easter Mass 2022, just a few weeks after Russia’s war crimes in Bucha were discovered, and while Russians were killiing thousands of Ukrainians in Mariupol. Ukrainians will remember him for his calls to stop arming Ukraine. I don’t know if ambulances will change it.

  23. Not a fan of the guy nor his whole institution, but gotta give credit where credit is due. This is a very nice gesture.

  24. I thought Catholic Preists weren’t allowed to have personal items. Isn’t that why they can’t marry?

  25. You mean armored multipurpose vehicles that can be used as ambulances, right? Because they could use those a lot more than normal ambalams.

  26. Wait they have money? I though all the bling was returned to the Church and given to the next guy.

  29. More good PR from beyond the grave! Don’t forget he ran the world’s largest pedophile ring. A few gifted ambulances will never atone for all the pain and suffering inflicted upon innocent children.

  31. i am so glad that his successor is so kind and cares so much about the suffering people of the world too
