With the news cycle set to “fast” these days, we often lose track of people who seemed to be all over the media landscape not so long ago. Today, we revisit a figure you may well have forgotten: Pope Francis. What has the old fellow been up to, since his 15 minutes passed? Oh, just living life the way any older person might go about their business. Here, some people are helping him unlock his apartment after a mishap. The people helping Francis are telling him that there’s a spare key in case he loses this one again. It’s going to be all right!

And here’s Francis “in motion,” just like you’d expect someone to be while they’re still alive and “taking care of business.” Looking good!

This news video apparently proves the new pope is the “antichrist.” But aren’t we all the antichrist? There’s just one Christ, after all. The rest of us are just people doing whatever we do, according to God’s will.

Francis stayed in #201, so always ask for that room — it’s haunted!

That’s all the time we have this week for “Checking In With ….” Join us next week when we see whatever happened to television’s Lena Dunham.
