Pope Francis has died at 88

[Whiskeyjack]

Wuerl and Kasper at the front looking very happy. Means it's probably Parolin or Tagle.

I fully expect Freeman to walk out.

[thekid33]

I am in shock

 

[dublinirish]

no confirmed reports of him being a Bears fan, breath easy fellas

 

[Dale]

Unironically - Is he a ND fan?

 

[BuaConstrictor]

A continuation of Francis. LFG.

 

[GowerND11]

Unironically - Is he a ND fan?

He's Augustan, so probably Villanova unfortunately...

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Where did Prevost fall on the spectrum of traditional to reform papal candidates?

 

[NDWarrior]

Didn't see that coming...

 

[MacIrish75]

Dude is from Dolton. The Pope is a Southsider!

 

[BuaConstrictor]

Where did Prevost fall on the spectrum of traditional to reform papal candidates?

Reform.

LEO XIV

Where did Prevost fall on the spectrum of traditional to reform papal candidates?

Perceived as a centrist. Seems to have a heart for the poor, without being squishy on any of the divisive doctrinal issues. Choosing Leo indicates an intent to govern conservatively. Leos have historically been fierce defenders of orthodoxy.

 

[zelezo vlk]

He had spent his time as a missionary in Peru and there had been multiple cardinals before the Conclave mentioning a desire for greater emphasis on evangelization. He's also young (shoutout to the Pillar for this profile), only 69 years old.

Good to see Whiskey come back in a time like this!

 

[BuaConstrictor]

Per analyst on CNN:

Taking the name Leo likely has more to do with his work/intended work with the poor and workers like the previous Leo.

Also, direct quote from Papal analyst: "Build on the reforms (of Francis), embed them, institutionalize them."

 

[dublinirish]

pretty young too @ 69. Dudes got a good 20+ year run in him

College Gameday: BC vs Notre Dame at the Vatican. Make it happen.
