I’m sure this thread will last in the lounge.

He looked in very rough shape last i saw.

RIP

I'm afraid that's what happens to the elderly when they spend all day eating chocolate. I can't understand why the church insists on celebrating Easter every year. What is so theologically significant about a bunny handing out choccy eggs to kids? Does this not send out a terrible message to our youth that gluttony = good?

This is why I don’t go to confession.

This is my sentiment 🙄

This Pope lived near you?

RIP.

I didn't think he was good at the job, but far from the worst. Let's hope the next one is better.

Holy smoke!

Rip….

This is why I don’t covert to Catholicism

If this affects you... I'm sorry for your loss.

However, I just do not understand the importance of his position.

I don't know anything about being Catholic, but the Pope passing away on the Easter of Jubilee seems kind of crazy.

I don't know how many Catholics there are across the world, but maybe a billion? The Pope is the leader of that church and frankly, is seen as the leader of all the Christian religions in a lot of ways. As such, the Pope has incredible influence over a major portion of the world's population.
