He was the least bad pope in recent history, whoever replaces him will almost guaranteed be worse in every respect.

I read that he had a hand in selecting the new crop of Pope Pickers so here's hoping the next one is in the same vein.
It would be a small miracle if they select someone who had anywhere near as progressive a view as he did about Palestine, the war in Ukraine, or any other issue for that matter. Perhaps Latin Christo-fascism will get it's way, it's looking grim.
We bout to see how much of Gladio is still in the Vatican
of the 135 only 27 where not chosen by him, they need 90 votes to get a new pope
It's so charming and humble to declare people who do abortions as assassins you know
What's the bet the next pope is worse though? My money is on "zionist pope" That's gotta be 50 to 1 odds.
Its very likely it's an european pope next，so yeah we most likely have a zionist and probably one that supports european rearm.
Funnily one of the german cardinals elegible is named Marx.
I was betting on nazi pope but thats a strong horse too
Assassins Creed: Abortion
dies at 88
It's a pretty sad state of affairs, that "issue." There are people who genuinely do care about human life, but got swept up in the anti-abortion rhetoric. But then there are also people who just use it as a cudgel to claim they give a single shit about human life, while supporting, for example, US imperialism. So it can really be a bunch of BS.
I do know a Catholic who eventually came around to the position that the government shouldn't be trying to stop people from having abortions. They still don't believe in abortion, but that part is less important anyway compared to people who actively want the government to restrict it. I might have made a difference there; whenever it came up, I would tend to push the position that it's damaging to women's health and autonomy for the government to try to stop it. Not that it means much in the US context, where I live, since Roe v Wade, the main federal bulwark for abortion rights in the US, was overturned.
Semi-related, drives me up the wall when I hear Catholics talking about pregnancy like their God is hovering over them and going, alright, some sex happened, lemme get a look here and decide if I want a pregnancy to happen this time. But as rough as my portrayal of it is, I don't think that's far off from what they belief, theologically, which is why some of them don't even belief in birth control and whatnot. I wonder if it will eventually die out if science is able to map out and then teach a thorough understanding of fertility. It seems like one of those things where ignorance has the blanks filled in with God.
The next one will definitely be a disaster, he was the best until date by far:
Criticized capitalism and consumerism
Supported Palestine, condemned Isn't real and called for ceasefire
Supported immigrants amid fascist hellhole that is Europe
Apologized for Native genocide on Canada's behalf
Blamed North Atlantic Terrorist Organization for Ukraine war
Pissed off Javier Milei
Launched investigations on sexual abuses in church
Strengthened penalties for sexual abuse
Again? Jesus fucking Christ. Okay okay, we'll get a new one.
new? the next one will be just as old and withered as the last few. I'd hardly call that "new."
Looking forward for my relatives message chains in whatsapp mourning the pope, whom also spreaded hasbarah.
