Pope Francis has died
Pope Francis has died
Francis became pope in 2013. In recent years, the 88-year-old was forced to cancel some events, sometimes at the last minute, because of his health.
You're viewing a single thread.
Repeat with me: "Morto 'n papa, se ne fa n'antro".
This is Romanesco (the dialect of Rome) for "When a Pope is dead, another one is made", usually used to comment situations in which the present condition will not be changed simply because of how the underlying mechanisms work.
Literally nothing to see here.
It is generally used similarly to "life goes on". Even if with more pessimism about the fact that certain things don't change (sometimes for good though).
It is still going to be a big deal for a few weeks though...
Depends how tuned in you are. If it wasn't for this pinned post on Lemmy I wouldn't have known.
