Just for Clarity Regarding the Pope

Potentially meaning?
No idea, but worth watching. One thing I think is interesting that the Pope wanted to take a meeting with Vance right before he died. Would also be interested if he met with any other world leaders over the weekend. It suggests to me that he felt it was important to meet with the people he did right before he died.

And further to your point, I don't think the public has any sway or influence with who become a Cardinal either. It's not like there's a voting public that determines who is in leadership in the Catholic Church. There is also no accountability with that system either, for what that's worth.
It follows a tradition of almost 2,000 years but it has evolved over the centuries.
 
He came up at a time when many South American regimes were extremely authoritarian and oh by the way corrupt. Priests like the Maryknoll fathers spoke out against the regimes and admittedly tended towards leftist Marxist viewpoints. Being from Argentina and under the Peron regime as a student he undoubtedly was influenced by those priests.
 
Jesuits are generally really good priests; fine people. They don’t all see eye to eye with Francis.

There’s a Hungarian cardinal who is one of 4-5 front runners that is closest to JPII

I love that Hungarian President

Awesome to have a Hungarian Pope 👍🏻
 
When I asked Chat GPT how the Pope could get double pneumonia with only one lung, this was its answer

Pope Francis had part of one lung removed when he was young due to an infection, but he still has a portion of that lung along with his full remaining lung. Double pneumonia refers to pneumonia affecting both lungs, so in his case, it would mean an infection affecting his full lung and whatever lung tissue remains on the other side. Even with reduced lung capacity, he can still develop infections in both areas.

For the record, I believe 1776 over what this claims.
Chat GPT is wrong
Lol
For kicks and giggles, I looked at all the dictionary definitions of double pneumonia, and they keep saying the pneumonia both lungs. But if you’ll notice physician never referred to it that way. Pneumonia is pneumonia and almost invariably infects both lungs to some extent. To a physician double pneumonia means a second pneumonia on top of pneumonia that occurs later.
In my career pulmonary critical care doctor, I’ve never actually used the phrase double pneumonia
It’s either pneumonia or secondary pneumonia, which is pneumonia following the initial case of pneumonia. Once you’ve had pneumonia, your lungs are more prone to pneumonia again for several weeks afterwards.
Double pneumonia isn’t a person’s term and they use it incorrectly.
And thanks for putting your faith in me

FYI, Catholics did not elect the pope, the Cardinals elect the pope. We do not elect the Cardinals nor the bishops nor the priest.
We have no vote in the catholic hierarchy.
 
I don’t think they’ve handed out indulges in centuries
Au Contrare…. You can get partial indulgences pretty easy. And plenary indulgences are also available…. But you have to obey/comply with the terms for such indulgences. And while plenary indulgences reduce temporal time in purgatory, there’s never a tally book you can peak at to see your target ;)

The church doesn’t sell indulgences anymore - I think that went out in the 1500s after they pretty much paid off the note for the Sistine Chapel. I think Martin Luther preferred Bingo and bake sales anyway, and told them so - I think the Curia stopped Martin at wet-habit horse wagon washes

Certainly could be true, but haven’t grown-up Catholic and attending 12 years of Catholic school, I’ve never once been offered an indulgence

I believe you much more than chat gpt. I was just pointing out that there is some bad information out there in places that we may trust most.

Agreed. One thing I definitely learned during Covid was how little the press actually knows and understands about things that they report on like their experts. In ChatGPT unfortunately takes their uninformed, opinions, and acts like they’re fact.

I will admit most things Jones has said years ago, I thought would be enough to land him in the looney bin, but about 99% of what he did say ended up as facts.
Alex also saying all that next to his new cyber truck.
It really needs to be termed Conspiracy Fact these days because most everything that gets labeled as a Conspiracy Theory, is actually true. Most people don't realize that it was a term coined by the CIA in the early 60's to deflect all the diverse opinions around JFK's assassination. It's never been a real thing at all but merely a way to silence the masses when they see corrupt government behavior.
