Pope Francis died this morning

I just switched on the TV and found out, I hadn’t looked at the news yet on internet.
Very saddened to hear this. He was very, very ill, even though he had been dismissed from hospital.

RIP Papa Francesco.

RIP Pope Francis. I am so glad he lived to give the Easter blessing yesterday. He did look very unwell, but he must have had the will to live to mark such an important day with his pilgrims.

Amazingly Symbolic. That he was able, in a wheelchair. To express his wishes to the world from the balcony. Good Friday.
Passing over, just two days later. RIP.

If they chose a younger man say in his 30’s then the vatican would not have to keep re-electing so often

I think John Paul II must have been in his 50s when elected. But he was unusually young.

Hi

Not often you get a Pope or any other Senior Religious Leader who had worked as a Bouncer.

He was very down to earth.

I’m not religious and did not follow or know much about him, but I’m pleased to see he was very outspoken about the genocide in Gaza:

Any particular reason why?

He isn’t meant to be.

Unusual, inappropriate question.

No explanation? That’s unusual.
