Oh, I’m actually very fond of Pope Francis. He genuinely gives a shit about humanity and does not abuse the trappings of his office. He has a real serve the people ethic, and is a good man, in a world of bad men in power. Mao would have definitely enjoyed his company.
>Mao would have definitely enjoyed his company. Yeah, that's the part that irks me about him. The man isn't of Christ. Only folk who are fond of that grimy old coot are disbelievers or ignorant heretics in my eyes.
Rumor has it that Mao was not a big fan of washing. According to his personal physician's memoir, his Zedong was rarely cleaned, along with the rest of him. From pages 417-418 of "The Private Life of Chairman Mao" by Li Zhisui:
>I suggested that he should at least allow himself to be washed and cleaned. Mao still received only nightly rubdowns with hot towels. He never actually bathed. His genitals were never cleaned. But Mao refused to bathe. “I wash myself inside the bodies of my women,” he retorted.
