Looks like the Pope will receive, or has already, a "personal" note expressing how heartbroken he is over what happened to Notre Dame.

Or maybe it's for publicity

Russ wrote it by the light of his pen.

Pope says, "Who's that?"

"That" Mormon, more likely. :)

Better. The Pope probably remembers them as businessmen.

Russ could have sent that on the down-low, but releasing it dramatically reduces its value and Russ' sincerity.


I didn't think my opinion of Russ could sink-decline any further, but alas it has.

"Pres. Russel M. Nelson sends handwritten gesundheit after patriarch of constantinople sneezes."

It's PR. Does Russ know Norte Dame is not owned by the Vatican? It's owned by the state of France. The catholic church was just a tenant in the building.

Anyways seems to be the trend these days showing the LDS church leaders rubbing shoulders with world leaders. Probably more accurately seeking a photo op so they can paste it on Facebook.

Haha!

Did Russ include a check?


I guess he would have told us ...

church president writes to Pope! The church is true!

So self-validating, ain't it?

Pathetic.

The Pope won't even see that letter. Some secretary will reply with a canned thank you note.

This is odd because I used to work with a guy named Russ Pope.

Much ado about nothing.

Why did this make the news, at all? Was this a charitable act? Did it do any good, or make any difference? It took him less time to scribble that off, than it took for him to brag about it on Twitter, and for the DN reporters to write the article.

Does Russ Nelson tweet, like Trump does?

Are we supposed to call the Catholics brother and sister now?

It didn't make the "news." It made the Deseret News, which is something entirely different.

This is a pathetic attempt to seem relevant and on par with the Pope. If you read the material on Mormonism at Catholic.com, you might not be surprised if this missive from Rusty goes straight into the trash can.
