JFK’s Grandson Jack Schlossberg Blames JD Vance for the Pope’s Death

by

As a gamer, I’m deeply saddened by the news of Pope Francis’ passing on April 21, 2025, a day after meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance. His demise has brought about feelings of sorrow, introspection, and, in this digital era, an overwhelming surge of opinions and humor online. However, amidst the clamor, let’s take a moment to remember why Pope Francis was admired as a progressive and beloved figure by many.

The People’s Pope

Pope Francis gained recognition for steering the Catholic Church towards a more welcoming and socially conscious path. He openly supported LGBTQ+ rights, advocated for climate justice, and repeatedly underscored the importance of compassion. His leadership was widely admired for infusing empathy into religious roles, and for standing resolutely with those who are disadvantaged.

Significantly, Pope Francis stood out among global religious figures by openly denouncing the persistent violence in Gaza. He denounced the atrocities committed against Palestinians as genocide and consistently advocated for peace and protection of innocent lives. His unwavering support for marginalized groups garnered him immense respect not just within the Catholic community, but also from people worldwide. In his final public address before his passing, Pope Francis pleaded for peace in both Gaza and Ukraine.

JFK’s Grandson: “JD Vance Killed the Pope”

In an unexpected turn of events, the timing of Pope Francis’s passing – occurring only a day after his Easter Sunday encounter with JD Vance – sparked a flurry of reactions online. Political commentator Hasan Piker, widely recognized as HasanAbi, tweeted humorously: “Holy smokes! JD Vance offed him!” mirroring the playful sarcasm that quickly spread. Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former president John F. Kennedy, also made a jest: “Okay, so JD killed the Pope,” and later asked, “WHAT DID JD DO?” Known for his unconventional internet persona and humorous remarks about JD Vance, Jack Schlossenberg’s comments soon gained traction.

As a fervent admirer, I must clarify that those posts were indeed meant as a biting jest. Yet, their rapid spread online underscores a profound mistrust towards individuals such as JD Vance, particularly when they’re paired with a figure as universally revered as Pope Francis. The irony of Vance being one of the latest to meet the Pope wasn’t lost on many, especially given his reputation. Throughout his papacy, the Pope has been vocal in his criticisms towards figures like Donald Trump for their stringent immigration policies and the mistreatment of migrants.

Faith, Politics, And The Internet Collide

2025 could witness the unique spectacle of Pope Francis’ passing becoming not just a worldwide event, but also an internet sensation. A meme, a topic of conversation, and a trending hashtag might all emerge as people react to his death in various ways – from sorrow, humor, to political analysis. This reflects our complex times, where power, persona, and tragic events are constantly shared and discussed online.

Even though he is known for his internet-friendly memes, Pope Francis’s impact endures. He served as a beacon of moral guidance during tumultuous times, a courageous figure who wasn’t afraid to question established norms, and someone who never hesitated to speak out against injustice.
