Today I’m going to talk about an actual news story. Not what was on the telly last night. Not some obscure religious festival that no one but its adherents care about. Not some ancient anniversary. Not some abstract concept. I’m talking about a real, contemporary, live news headline that’s in all the papers and websites and newscasts. One where Thought for the Day can really shine. Where a person of faith can bring their unique insight to bear in a way that no mere secular presenter ever could.

So in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, Pope Francis is dead. Wasn’t he just brilliant.

And that is the end of the Big News today from a Faith Perspective.

Please, applause is unnecessary, but thank you, thank you, thank you…

I could be Pope soon you know.
