Is there reason to suspect they were chosen on political basis?
Francis seemed to show a lot of favoritism to members following his more progressive footsteps and struck out at the careers of conservatives who spoke publicly against him. He fast tracked the careers of a lot members that showed ideological similarity to him and made sure to give them opportunities for high ranking governing experience, indicating his hope to cause the next pope to show continuity with his reforms.

Im not calling anything for certain because papal elections are famously unpredictable, but yeah

Maybe he was just too shocked from meeting JD Vance...

I think we can officially start calling this the "Truss Effect," in which a long-lived world leader has a face-to-face meeting with the current generation of incompetent far-right stooges supplanting them and simply gives up the will to keep going.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.

Not uncommon for terminally ill people to briefly look like they are fine right before death.
Its true and its not. In both my friends cases although frail it looked he might recover. He had a stroke and pnumonia at the same time. In the week since it happened he was getting better and stronger. He lasted a month later. My other friend was a bit different in that we knew her time was near. Just didnt know when. I was told by her doctors once she entered hospice it might be a month or 6 months depending on if she had a another bout of pnumonia. She was looking stronger and might last longer than they predicted. Then her lungs couldnt exchange the co2. That was it.
It's a shame. I wish she never smoked. She deserved at least another 20y

White House pays tribute to the pope by posting pictures of Trump and Vance. They have to make it all about them.

The pope is barely even in the picture.

First JD Vance breaks the college football championship trophy and then he kills the Pope.
See you next Wednesday.
RIP Pope Francis wasn't perfect and I do believe he really wanted to do some changes but change isn't instant. Hope all future popes follow in his footsteps and improve upon what he started.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the next pope won't be super progressive and go against the chirstonationalism that the US is making popular.

"Americanism" is legit a named heresy and refers to Catholics that pick and choose beliefs they want to hold while ignoring or opposing the Vatican. It is seen as unlikely for an American to be named pope due to the power/influence of the United States.

I personally do not see the new pope being any more conservative than Parolin, a moderate who worked well with Francis. An actual conservative pope could easily be more divisive or destructive than a progressive one and I don't see this set of cardinals having any stomach for it.

Ugh I really wonder if we will be seeing a moderate pope like Francis or someone who matches the rise of fascism world wide.

Please don't be weird in my topics
All i remember from Pope Francis was him cleaning house during a time when the church was in scandal about this and that.

Since this news of his death, i have been watching some of his works in public. Im just in tears how this good he done was like lifting up the spirits of the people hes talking to.

Id like to believe in my heart that somehow the world finds balance in these times of uncertainty. Maybe rn the world needs more love and understanding from its leaders. I think the next pope will be that message if Pope Francis wasnt leading like that i guess...

Sad when anyone dies
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/308d77ac.jpg

I can think of 2 easy people that not an ounce of sadness will be had on my end. Being honest, could be cause for celebration.

(I feel as though I need to make this clear just in case. To be clear, I am NOT implying any nefarious or criminal activity of any kind. Not implying, insinuating, promoting or persuading nefarious or criminal acts of any kind against someones life. I mean literally having no condolences for a 100% natural cause passing of an awful person passing from 0% criminal or nefarious activity. Literally)
I just hope the next pope makes my ultra right wing parents as pissed off as Francis did (or more).
RIP

A shame he couldn't have better company before he went out, but he doesn't have to put up with the bullshit going on down here anymore.

Speaking of the Pope dying...have you guys seen The Conclave yet?
Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.
Called for a ceasefire on Easter and then Vance killed him. Wild stuff.

RIP

A deeply flawed man but his heart was in the right place.

He said "gender ideology" was "the ugliest danger of our time", called abortion a "grave evil" and blamed priests fucking children on Satan.

You consider that person's heart to be in the right place? I sure as hell don't.

JD Vance made the pope give up on life
There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.
I hadn't really thought about it before, but why is there a waiting period between popes? Why is a successor not chosen ahead of time? Why is the world popeless for like a week or so?
Without truth, there is nothing.

They wait until after the mourning period then hold the vote.

Right now the cardinals are all politicking.

Right now they have two candidates that I could see. One regressive and one progressive. The regressive one is more aligned with the United States. That is all
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
If I had a vote I'd go for either Pierbattista Pizzaballa or Christoph Schnborn.

Vatican says he got a stroke early Monday morning, fell into a coma, and got a heart attack after.
Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need.
Maybe there should be a different system. Maybe always have a Pope In Waiting at all times. So that that person instantly is the new Pope when the old one dies. So no popeless time.

That would incentive the new Pope murdering the old Pope!

Meeting JD Vance shortly before must have taken what remained of his will to live.
