Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pope Francis was the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church and the first from the Americas. His papacy, from March 13, 2013, to April 21, 2025, brought change to the Vatican and the Church at large, resulting in his becoming one of the most complex pontificates of the last century. Pope Francis died Monday, the day after Easter, at the age of 88. As the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, he left behind a legacy of service, unity, and compassion. ~ Happy last April weekend!
"Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that creates huge inequalities." – Pope Francis

Cats hold a unique and revered position in Egyptian history and culture, stemming from a complex interplay of practical benefits, religious symbolism, and deeply held beliefs. They were not merely pets, but were seen as magical creatures, capable of bringing good luck and divine favor. This stemmed from their ability to control pests like rodents and snakes, protecting vital grain stores and homes. More profoundly, cats became associated with powerful deities, most notably Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of fertility, domesticity, and protection, elevating their status to near-divine beings. This veneration translated into laws protecting cats, elaborate mummification rituals after death, and a pervasive cultural presence that continues to resonate today, even if the explicit worship is no longer practiced.
