IT FELL OFF A WAGON

Pope Reveals He Stole a Rosary

From the casket of his late, beloved confessor.

Even when the Pope does something bad, it’s actually really good. Pope Francis confessed to a group of priests that he stole the rosary from the casket of the "great confessor" of Buenos Aires. When the priest died, Pope Francis went to pray by his casket and was shocked no one had brought flowers. After he came back from buying a bouquet, he saw the rosary and took it. The Pope said that “in that moment I looked at him and I said 'Give me half your mercy.'" He said he now wears the rosary in a little pouch. "And whenever a bad thought comes to mind about someone, my hand goes here, always," he said, gesturing to his heart. "And I feel the grace, and that makes me feel better."
