    It looks like Cardinal Sin died in 2085 2005. I guess he was a mortal Sin.

    Given the latest reports, the current Pope is either going to make a full recovery or died a week ago. We'll probably find out in about a week.

    This is how I found out the Pope is in poor health.

    Given how every election seems to out recently, they're probably going to seek out the vilest, most fascist, hardcore traditionalist they can find who thinks Vatican II was tantamount to a pagan takeover or some shit. Fuuuuck

    Pope Francis made a bunch of new Cardinals from all over the world, so nobody knows what will happen.

    David Graeber had a take on that before he died.

    If you convince a billion people that you can breathe underwater, and then you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you'll drown.

    If you convince a billion people you're the king of France... Then you're the king of France.

    So the question becomes, how many Catholic friends do you have?

    They're also allowed to name their successors. If he's really as concerned with the direction of the church as he has claimed, you'd think he'd ensure who's gonna be wearing the fancy red shoes in the coming years. But honestly, I think he's not quite as concerned about that as he's lead on. He strikes as me as a radical centrist, it just looks progressive compared to so many of the others.

    On 16 October 2023, he condemned Hamas' actions as barbaric and offered himself as a hostage in exchange for captive Israeli children held in Gaza during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.

    Pizzaballa has advocated for an end to the 2023 Israel–Hamas War and the Israeli occupation of Palestine.[17] Pizzaballa was a signatory to the "Statement on the Escalating Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza" which condemned attacks on civilians, called for de-escalation and called for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. His statement was criticized by Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen.[18] On his visit to Bethlehem on Christmas Eve 2023, Pizzaballa donned a Palestinian keffiyeh and expressed a desire for peace in the region.[19]

    Consider me a Pizzaballa fan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierbattista_Pizzaballa

    Wasn’t he the token Italian kid in the TERF wizard school book?

    I... Do not remember a token Italian. Token Asian definitely. Skin color is hard to see from written words and I don't remember if anyone was explicitly described as black in the books but there was a token black person in the movies at least. Mostly it was just a bunch of English kids.

    I've heard him mentioned as a possible next pope. Which would mean his papal name could only be a disappointment.

    He can't just change his name to something kids love, just to love kids. Can he?
