Pope Francis has died, the Vatican says

Francis became pope in 2013. In recent years, the 88-year-old was forced to cancel some events, sometimes at the last minute, because of his health.

    Wait, so the vaccine hating vp bowman visits the Vatican and the next day the pneumonia suffering Pope dies. Coincidence…?

      It would be more than coincidence if the next Pope was an ultra-conservative, GOP-friendly guy from the US and A. Of course this would never happen, but… ehm… who knows?

        You mean like this guy?

        Who is Raymond Burke, the cardinal Donald Trump wants to be the next Pope?

          Currently sixth favourite only, so barring some big upset, not likely to win.

            Perhaps he will rise higher after HitlerPig threatens their tax-exempt status.

              I doubt that the Catholic Church is big enough in the US for them to have that much of an influence on who the next pope is. There hasn’t ever been a pope from the US.

                There hasn’t ever been a pope from the US.

                Boom! There’s the hook. The Catholic church is HUGE in America, the fourth highest Catholic population in the world, behind Brazil, Mexico, and Phillipines, and ahead of countries like Italy, Spain, France and Argentina, all of whom have contributed Popes.

                Expect the MAGA Nazis to demand that the next Pope be an American of their choice, with all sorts of threats to follow, including removing their tax-exempt status.

          Good one, this needs to be much higher.

          I was going to post that HitlerPig will be pushing his own choice for Pope, and here we are. Now I’m wondering if Couchfucker slipped something into the Pope’s tea.

            JD probably got the measles and took it to see an old sickly man. Hence why he was so insistent on seeing him.

              Vance is too stupid, he’d fuck it up.

              Remember this?

              He’d end up putting the Iocaine powder in his own tea.

              Someone else in his entourage did something nefarious.

        From what I understand, the rest of the Roman Catholic Church sees US Catholics as weird and a kind of lost cause. So I have doubts that the US would have too much sway over the conclave.

          They usually are, but I also had doubts that a weirdo becomes POTUS again. Everything seems to be possible these days…

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
