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.

This is likely to be one of the biggest news stories of everyone reading this lives. Regardless of your personal feelings on organized religion, Catholism, etc. This was someone who led a 2000 year old organization with over 1 billion members.
Hopefully, everyone posting "lol JD Vance killed him" can reflect on this 50 years from now as they look back on their lives, and the small amount of dopamine they received was worth it. And maybe they'll have even moved past their incessant need to post surface level thoughts and memes and developed the ability to process information and add value to a conversation. But I doubt it.
I say all of this as someone who actually hates the Catholic church. I want to end by saying that all you people spamming those comments, posts, memes, etc. You are the reason the internet is getting worse.
Well three popes have died since 2005.
I mean, people can simultaneously realise the gravity of this, AND poke fun at the coincidence thst the Pope died after meeting JD Vance.
You aren't contributing much either by making an entire comment criticising those people. Why not ignore and move on and make an useful comment?
It's also okay to not have something important or ground-breaking to say. I don't think people saying JD killing him are ruining the internet.
There have been several popes in my lifetime and the only one I really remember going was jp2, and that wasn't even a huge story in the scheme of things.
