Pope Francis dies aged 88 (new Pope is Leo XIV)

[TIDE-HSV]

I thought it interesting, how far Latin has slipped. Leo reads and writes, but doesn't speak it, once a requirement. The cardinal announcing his ascension erred. He should have said "habemus papam." Instead, he said "habemus papam-um," The "um" coming out as an afterthought. Most singular masculine Latin nouns do indeed end in "um." "Pope," "Papa" however, is irregular and forms the objective as "Papam." He wasn't sure of his grammar...

I sent my sister a typo: "habemus papum," and she responded, "we have a nipple?"

They should put Jamie Raskin on that diet cause he is clearly full of [REDACTED].

It's a little scary that the new pope declared he was going to be pope while in first grade...

Interesting. My nephew declared he would be a priest around the same age and twenty years later, he took his vows and joined the Jesuit order. He is easily one of the brightest and most intelligent people I have ever known.

It seems the Pope is a White sox fans.

It is kind of cool that he does not take himself too seriously.

God really hates the White Sox. Not as much as the Rockies though.

Maybe it is karma for the 1919 World Series.
Or to use some Catholic theology, they have some time to spend in Purgatory yet.

Spanish for pope is "El Papa."

I've seen it written as "La Papa," which means "potato."

Somewhere there has to be a Mr. Potato Head with a pontiff's hat and robe.

We're a long way from a female pope, human or potato...
