Pope Francis dies - April 21st 2025

I don't even know where to begin with some of you lot.


Whilst a little joke is acceptable, maybe even a minor passing comment on your apathy towards what he represented, but some of you going off on full blown political angles, and anti-religious rants.

Honestly have a little decency, or at least don't post in this thread.

Is that the final warning before you bring out the ban stick, aka the Vaticane?
 
I think he was on his death bed weeks ago and if it wasnt for the fact of who he is he'd have been dead then, I bet he got more care and attempts at extending his life than almost all other 88 year olds with chest infection problems. Not having a dig at him, I hope he rests in peace and yes what a soldier for working right until the end.

He was the figurehead of an institution with a long and current history of rape, murder and paedophillia, whose teachings have been used to repress and demonise millions to this very day, so I can fully understand why some people feel decency went out the window a long time ago. Should Ukrainians have decency when Putin snuffs it?

That being said he seemed like one of the better ones and hopefully they pick someone in line with his interpretation of Catholicism.

US Vice President JD Vance did it, and wants to put a US Trump friendly pope. The best pope was Pope John Paul II.
 
From what little I knew about the man he seemed like one of the better Popes. So yeah, RIP I guess, he had a decent innings - 88 is a good age by anyone's standard.
 
I thought it was slightly amusing the BBC describe the Popemobile as the little white Mercedes.
Have they ever seen a G Class?
 
RIP Pope Francis

It's definitely going to make my trip to Rome interesting in 2 weeks. I don't know what to expect now, had planned on visiting the Vatican, and I imagine it'll be pretty busy there while a new pope is being elected!
