Conclave to replace Pope Francis to begin May 7, Vatican says

[slightlv]

7. Interesting read on Wikipedia...

I do hope those thinking a conservative new pope are wrong, tho. I fear with the outsized influence of trump, that he might have done or said things to try to tilt it in that direction, as per the Dominionists' theocracy desires.

Of course, his crassness and refusal to follow the rules and suggestions at the funeral... as well as falling asleep and snoring (while Melania did the same next to him!), may influence cardinals in the opposite direction.

I hope they pull together on their Christs' words and seek to bring people together, expanding the inclusiveness of the church. And it'd be really nice if some set of men somewhere decided that women ARE capable and acceptable, since Mary Magdalene DID finance Christ's missionary work! I loved how that nun came in and stated that "I know we sisters are suppose to be invisible, but God did see fit to give us eyes and ears"... and then said her piece!

My hubby just sat down to watch it in the front room, I'll probably join him to watch the last section of it again.. it's just TOO good! (LOL)
