Oh Lordy, the pope has passed away.
oh dear
I hope someone with a strong anti-fascist character is chosen as replacement
Me too. This one was at least progressive in some ways and could have offered some protection in the face of advancing fascism :(
I read he recently assigned (annointed/annnounced) a bunch of new Cardinals - mostly from emerging nations across Africa and Oceania. Also ensuring that 80%+ of the conclave will be cardinals that he approves of. That bodes well at least. Though having grown up around the church I don't hold a lot of hope in those guys.
OH just said the same thing
Oh wow. I saw a shot of his Easter blessing and thought he looked shit. Poor old fella. I think he was one of the (few) good ones.
Sent a cardinal to lecture vance, turns out he was on his deathbed. Chose not to spend his final hours with vance. Top call.
Smart move.
That would have been one of the worst ways to spend his last hours considering their past meetings have been not so great.
Plus vance probably would have attempted to copulate with said deathbed
