VATICAN CITY—Calling upon the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics to act with forgiveness towards the Aaron Sorkin series, Pope Francis held a press conference Monday urging the world to give HBO drama The Newsroom another chance. “I’m advising Christians around the world to come together and open our hearts to this political drama,” said the 83-year-old pontiff, recommending his followers to be Christ-like in their appraisal of the show’s “uneven” pilot episode. “Brothers and sisters, I’m well aware that this show is Sorkin at his most self-indulgent, but there are actually some great performances from Jeff Bridges and the absolutely stacked cast. Let us not forget Alison Pill’s standout role as News Night associate producer Maggie Jordan. Sure, the first season is pretty rough, but who among us is without sin? Do unto Aaron Sorkin as you would want done unto you.” Pope Francis concluded by conceding that Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip was an unforgivable trespass. \n

Jeff Daniels* but ok

The Pope may just convert me yet!

Why, SO YOU CAN KEEP LEADING PEOPLE DOWN A SINFUL PATH WITH YOU PAGAN, SATANIC RELIGION?!!!!!!

I loved that show so much

It was a good show...amen.

It was divinely inspired after all.

No way. 'The Newsroom' might not have been the first series to have a great start but end leaving people regretting that they wasted their time on it, but it was definitely one of the worst endings of all time.

What about being AVOIDED by the NEWSROOM? What happens when the NEWSROOM is GAMBLING against NATURE? VICTIMISED ( owner of this very account that's replying, CHARLES MOLEFE) AGENT that had BUSTED a WORLDWIDE treat. BLACK DEALINGS, defined as PROBLEM OVER YEARS. EarthReformEra

''Sports Night' was pretty good, too,' the chief pastor of the worldwide Catholic Church added.

If that works, the Pope should watch and save 'Futurama' too.

no—dril

after a proverbial ahem, pope francis suggests priests should use blowup dolls from the home alone collection and not to allow any sperm to hit the floor/ground because that would be a sin.

NO

Newsroom was awesome! Very well done. Work the watch and challenges you to think about what we are fed by the news

Tried to, but it turned out they didn't ever even bother to finish making the third series, which itself was lacklustre and padded out. Work with me here, Francis

What about Sports Night

adkinsnick, nathanerice

That's a show that didn't age well

Wtf I'm sedevacantist now

amen

That show was great. Better than sopranos or GoT and I loved both of those too.

Peas be upon him.

But, meh, we dont, we drunk

How many hail Mary's before we give Freaks and Geeks another shot?

You might be joking... But... I think we should take it seriously 😂😂

I laughed. How many dominos will it take until religious leaders really tell you what to watch, read or think?

I’ve never agreed with a Pope more

If this had been true, it wouldve been worse than his smokescreening for pedophiles.

Newsroom was great.

chatroomgirl

Good show, good show

Or at least just the opening scene

Jeff Bridges?

Shoot, I was hoping for the late great HBO show 'Vinyl'...sigh.

ok

Pope Francis, ex Pope Benedict both get Covid-19 vaccine - VaticanBoth Pope Francis and ex Pope Benedict have received the first dose of a vaccine against coronavirus, the Vatican said on Thursday. The 84-year-old pope and the 93-year-old former pope, got their jabs as part of a Vatican vaccination program that began on Wednesday. Francis is perhaps more at risk because part of one of his lungs was removed following an illness when he was a young man in his native Argentina.
