Lung adenocarcinoma has a wild, but still low, life expectancy within five years - anywhere from 63% with no metastasis, to merely 7% with it. Which is to say, depending on the prognosis, we might have to prepare for a conclave very soon. cancercenter.com/cancer-types/…

Damn, this pope was pretty cool. Doesn't he have a brother or something?

Edit: oh, looks like the brother has cancer too.

Brother's also a massive Trump supporter who definitely doesn't share Leo's views on migrants.

It's almost like siblings are different people. Shocking I know that genetic lines aren't monoliths

You're gonna have a hell of a time believing you're a good Christian while holding such antichristian views if your brother is the literal pope.

Have you met an American Christian? Jesus himself could come down - nestled in the palm of God's hand - and tell people "don't hate brown people," and most American Christians would be like "it's obviously a metaphor."

New York. During 911? Statistically, those numbers are up. Either way, not typically a good prognosis.

Remind me, what is the pope doing for everyday people?

Well he told them to welcome and protect immigrants and that god doesn't hate lgbt+ people. These extremely tepid takes were enough to cause a minor schism, so I will cut him some slack.

The pope is a good person, advocating for things we agree with, not fucking the poor without their consent, protecting the environment, stamping out the global child raping organization the church had humming.

Do we have anything tangible of him going after pedos in the church?

I really would love to see this and it is one of the main factors in me not trusting this guy, let alone anyone in a position of authority over millions of people. There's a proven conflict of interest with that.

This sucks, and I suspect fuckery by the wordwide fascist movement to seize control of governments.

Cancer isn’t necessarily a death sentence or a long-winded sick bed. They talked about a nodule, before and I think since he is the pope, they are screening him regularly, so they probably caught it early. He might not even need chemotherapy.
