One Was Not Enough: Francis Hangs Up Second Judas in His Study
The anti-biblical painting shows a naked Christ bowing over the dead Judas in order to minister to him. It was given to Francis by its maker, a frenchman inspired by Francis' book "Qando pregate dite Padre Nostro" (When you pray, say Our Father) which was published in 2018 and is already forgotten.
In it, Francis misinterprets the capital of Vézelay Abbey Church, France, which shows a man - who according to the basilica's webpage is not Christ - carrying away Judas' corps. Francis mistakes the man for "Jesus, the Good Shepherd, carrying dead Judas on his shoulders as the last lost sheep."
According to L’Osservatore Romano, Francis had already a photo of the capital behind his desk, so the new representation is the second Judas picture in his office.
Since Francis is personally merciless and vindictive, this shows a revealing attraction not to the Good Shepherd but to another betrayer of Christ.
