The papal conclave is about to meet, Trump is joking about being Pope, and I have things to say about the order of love.

The world passport has been used by refugees, artists, and celebrities, but has also been dismissed and ridiculed. First issued in 1954, it was a bold declaration that we belong to the planet. The history is incredible. We can go to the next level. Just published ↓
