#RIPPopeFrancis
"He was one of the few world leaders who had the courage & political immunity—to stand up to & criticize, often in blistering terms, Donald Trump, explicitly calling his migration policies a “DISGRACE” & “NOT CHRISTIAN”
His last day⬇️

Who will replace Pope Alito on SCOTUS and where to get the best cacio e pepe in Rome on the next Silver Bulletin.

Closer to accuracy than satire 😐

the proposed $5 million dispensations would be prohibitive except for the chosen few

A relentless focus on warfighting

Bummer, I fear this may be prophetic and not satire.

Most of the cardinals eligible to vote for the next pope were appointed by Pope Fancis, so it's isn't unreasonable to think the next Pope will continue Pope Francis's legacy. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/21/who-will-be-the-next-pope-the-selection-process-and-what-happens-next

There are two on that short list who would basically be going back to the days of Pius VI helping the Nazis.

Trump expressed interest in being the next pope when told that pope answers to no-one.

Yeah it would be a shame to ditch all the good work that Bergoglio did against the LGBTQ+ community (the headline roughly translates to "there's too much f*ggotness [in seminaries]")

isn't the angle there that gay stuff isn't an endaround to priestly celibacy?
whichever hole you're using, if you're trying to be a priest, you shouldn't.

Not really: "When the Pope was asked how to behave towards homosexual candidates, Bergoglio reiterated his refusal to admit them". Also, the epithet he used specifically is a very nasty homophobic slur in Italian.
