It Should Be A No-Brainer For Pope Francis To Pardon This Poor Christmas Tree -- But That Could Be THE Problem.

This, for the pope, should be a no-brainer. But, in my eyes, therein lies the problem. I don't want to be unduly mean or rude, but we have to face facts. Pope Francis, soon to be 88, isn't doing that great. I think he is barely hanging on. He and Joe Biden are in the same boat. Way past their 'sell by' date.

Well, the pope does LUCKILY have a very competent Acting Pope -- his friend, cahoot, and partner-in-sin, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández. Victor, alas has a wicked sense of humor. He likes to stoke mischief. So he might let this go -- meaning NOT pardon the tree. People will think it was the pope, but the pope would remain clueless.

Christmas trees at the Vatican are relatively new. Only as of 1982.

There is a very simple solution. They should go with a HYBRID tree; i.e., a big tree made together by lashing small trees together. That way everybody can be happy.
