Some people WANT that to be his title, but it isn’t: that’s for Gregory and Leo. And his response to the abuse scandals was terrible and incredibly damaging. Being anti-Communist doesn’t overturn everything else.
Halloween is actually Samhain (sow-wen), a Wiccan holiday of the death of the sungod (orange), one of eight in the year. Early Christians covered it as All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days. The syncretism also covered the Wiccan reincarnation in cycles, as an earth-based religion. The sungod is reborn at Yule (red) at the hibernal solstice.

It’s the statue at Rome’s main railway station. Controversial due to oversized head and place for homeless to sleep.
