And suddenly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was the new one: Pope Francis in 2013

Go, soul, the body’s guest,
….Upon a thankless arrant;

….….And give the world the lie.

I want to kill you war, forever,
not like a phoenix, that always comes back
I want to kill you war
and I don’t know how
and I don’t know why
all the people of the world
don’t join hands
to kill you war —
you the greatest killer
of them all

I didn’t hear about her in school, but read about her later, in my early 20s in a book about her remarkable life. I had paid 3 Austrian shillings (fifty cents) for the novel in an old second-hand bookstore in Vienna. The title of the paperback “Theodora, from Prostitute to Empress.”
