End of and era? No.

Just a twist in the road of the decent of Catholicism further and further from Christ to that “great global religion for all”. /sarc

I predict one of his faithful followers will be picked.

As a fallen Catholic I have to say we can only hope. Unfortunately when the left takes over an institution are very hard to get rid of. Leftists always go where the money is and either take it or repurpose the spending.

“The Death of Pope Francis: The End of An Era”

THANK GOD!

The people wouldn’t do anything about the Demon pope, so God had to step in.

“End of an era”?

Not hardly.
Leninism will continue to subvert the world.

He appointed 108 of the 135 cardinals who will be voting in the next conclave.

And the same inner group that put him in is largely still there today.

Even tho he was an evil man, I would not celebrate his death. My preference for such is that he live long enough to see all he has done burn and then die in misery.

As to a replacement, I cannot expect any improvement. The lavender mafia is in firm control of the Vatican and cannot permit a real Christian to assume command. Y’know, one who would enforce your compliance with your oath to Gawd about celibacy. Not gonna happen.

“I predict one of his faithful followers will be picked.”

Agreed, the deck was already pretty stacked and Francis made it more so.

A counter to Newsweek:

These 8 cardinals may succeed Francis. Here’s what they believe
