mourning rites last 9 days
funeral will take place in St. Peter's square
Conclave will start in 15 to 20 days in order to elect a new pope
The conclave will take place in the Sistine Chapel. The cardinals will decide on which day is starts based on practical considerations.
All cardinals under 80 can take part, voting is secret. For a new pope to be elected, there needs to be a 2/3 majority.
Because of the two-thirds majority needed, it can take multiple rounds before a pope is elected.
Every time the vote is inconclusive, they burn the paper ballots together with chemicals to produce black smoke.
When the vote is conclusive, they ask the elected cardinal to accept the position and what name he will take as the pope.
When the cardinal accepts the position, they burn the ballots again with different chemicals, this time producing white smoke
seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors
What we’ve gotta understand is that “the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults” and “the modern Internet is abolishing space for children” are compatible phenomena. Neither group is being favoured: the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults (i.e., because grown-up topics aren’t advertiser friendly) and the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for children (i.e., because online communities which consist principally of people who have no money are hard to sell things to). The Internet that contemporary corporate interests are trying to build isn’t a space for anyone – it’s the digital equivalent of an Ikea showroom.
Saw a post about the sesamarot and wanted to share my favorite reading
When an elderly person comes down with a serious illness, for the sake of their recovery, indeed their survival, they are supposed to avoid anything that may strain their weakened systems.
They are meant to avoid stress.
Which is probably at least part of the reason why Pope Francis sent his second to speak to JD Vance instead of doing it himself.
And Then... JD VANCE INSISTED TO SPEAK TO THE POPE HIMSELF.
Knowing that the pope was still recovering from PNEUMONIA at his advanced age.
Still, like an entitled american, he demanded to speak to the pope himself. Despite having been met by his political equal in status, it wasn't good enough for JD Vance.
It just might have been the final straw for an elderly man who was fighting off a serious infection to have to take the time out of his already busy schedule.
The complete lack of empathy that JD Vance brought to the Vatican, that he had already been scolded for by the leadership of the religion he claims to follow, can very easily be considered a contributing factor at the very least.
It's not a stretch to theorize the pope might have survived had JD Vance not come calling.
The jokes are funny and all... but...
