Vatican wishes the “explosion of pure joy” of circus will soon return
While expressing its solidarity and closeness with circus artistes and the industry that has taken a toll due to the pandemic, the Vatican wishes that they soon return to performing in order to bring back an “explosion of pure joy” and “cherished balm of laughter” to adults and children.
Bringing back joy and laughter
"I ask circus performers of all latitudes who are suffering so much during this pandemic to bring their art, as soon as possible, to the places where children and the elderly suffer,” said Cardinal Peter Turkson, the prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. “Grandparents and grandchildren are the most frequent spectators” under the tent, “and are unfortunately the ones who have paid a very high price”. “They are as thirsty as circus workers for an explosion of pure joy, such as the one offered by the circus. Those who are so nobly taking care of sick children also need the cherished balm of laughter,” the cardinal wrote in a message for the 11th World Circus Day, April 17.

Yet Humble Jorge has forbidden private Masses in St Peter's Basilica, limited the number of Masses, and banished the Traditional Latin Mass to the crypt to only a few.
We must cherish laughter, rather that worship Our Lord.

Personally, I prefer for my Popes to be a bit more focused on the return of Jesus the Christ than on the return of the circus.
Besides, the current antics emanating from the Vatican seem to alternate between the insane clown posse act and a particularly bizarre freak show so with Fraankie’s crew, the circus never really so we really need any more circus than we already have.

I just don’t think of gladiators when I hear that music. I think of monkeys. Some circus calliopes could be heard 5 miles away or more.

Yo, Pope...I understand the Circus Maximus is available...and just across town. Better yet...the Colosseum...although Christians rarely won during those festivities.

I heard that the Colosseum had to close because the lions ate up all the prophets.

pope threw in with 0bama, soros, jarett, bidan, fauxi, globaist, and marxists to suppress freedom, liberty, laughter and joy.
Current Vatican roster is part of the problem

So, Frankie is trying to convince us that if we just do as he says we will enter into the "explosion of pure joy" as the beast system forces us into the "transhumanism of the beast state"?
I get it.
