Hey, happy Easter Monday, everybody.

Hope wherever you are in the world, you're doing well.

Course, the biggest new story in the world right now,

is the death of Pope Francis, who has died at age 88.

I'm going to be covering that shortly. I'm going to be talking about my

own experience of being a Catholic and meeting other people who horrible things happened at the hands of Catholic priests and what I learned over the

years that the church was housing one of the biggest PDF rings in the world. We'll get to that. I've just emailed Kevin Annette,

who we've been working with for about five years on this channel, who has done tons of research

on the Pope and the Vatican, and is absolutely fascinating to listen to. He's extremely well educated and he talks at a very fast pace

and he's had several attempts on his life. So the structure is I'm going to talk about the news.

Then what I learned about the Catholic Church, the PDFs, and then we'll go over to some of the stuff I've done in the past with Kevin

Annette, and I'm going to try and get Kevin Annette back on tonight. He's not been on for a while.

So the news is Pope Francis dies aged 88.

And there are updates and reactions coming out every minute.

He was born Jorge Mario Bagoglio in Buenos Aires.

He became the first Latin American pontiff in history when he was elected to the papacy in 2013. So he's had quite a good run. Last month he was discharged from Rome's hospital

after a 38- day stay following a respiratory

crisis that developed into double pneumonia well we've come across the old

pneumonia thing a lot haven't we with the Diddy case and it shouldn't be fatal

for younger people as we saw in the Diditty case but um if you're getting up there

if you're an oxygenarian then it's serious so his death was confirmed just hours after a much

hoped for appearance at st peter's Square on Easter Sunday.
