Although a meeting with Vance is surely worse than death, I think you wanted to use this link. https://www.reuters.com/world/pope-francis-has-died-vatican-says-video-statement-2025-04-21/
Having done zero research into this topic, and having next to zero background knowledge on this topic, who would be the likely new contenders for pope? And what would their political/ideological affiliations be? I could be wrong, but from my (limited) knowledge, Francis was a relatively liberalizing pope. What’s the likelihood that the next one will be the same?
He was a major step in the right direction. I’m worried College of Cardinals is gonna go waaaaaay in the opposite ideologically with whoever they elect new pontiff.
He was a nicer Pope than many of his predecessors, and had brought a much more modern, inclusive sensibility to the Church. May that legacy continue. Rest in peace.
After meeting J.D. Vance yesterday, he must have thought: _fuck this, I’m out!_
But, jokes aside, may he rest in peace. He was a good human, brought many good reforms to the Catholic Church. May his legacy continue.
He was really one of the better popes. Tried to foster good relations with other faiths. Wasnt radical like his predecessor. I wonder which direction the next pope goes.
Im a nonebeliever nor i practice, but its truly sad, the pope had lots of people supporting him and hating him because of his progressive policies and overall trying to make “modern” catholicism more popular & accepting, truly a big loss
Terminally ill people tend to improve their health and get livelier just before they die suddenly. It’s like their bodies know they’re going to die so they give one last hurrah for a week until they go all of a sudden.
Time to watch ‘The Conclave’ again!
Here in the UK the Catholic Church was very much on the decline until revitalised by Eastern European migration.
Currently though the largest populations of Catholics wordwide are Brazil and Mexico, closely followed by the Philippines.
A Filipino pope would be interesting!
Oh shit
Non-believer here and non practitioner, but.. damn.
I think he was a really alright one.
Kinda worried who will be the next one with the way current politics are going..
