Pope Francis died at age 88

[Dakota Tebaldi]

Meh, talk is cheap. People can say anything they want. As for actions, though, we know that Nixon joined the military, and later openly despised anti-war protesters, which is pretty much exactly what you would do if you wanted to make sure everyone thinks you're whatever the opposite of a Quaker is.

Serious question here: Donald Trump attended Pope Francis' funeral wearing a blue business suit and tie. Is that normal in the US, assuming the man concerned either possesses a black suit or can afford to hire one?

Is it normal? No. No, it isn't. Is it right in Trump's wheelhouse to wear something inappropriate meant to draw attention to himself? Yes, yes it is.

But, hey, Obama's tan suit, right?

More importantly, the Vatican had a strict all-black dress code for the funeral. So I think we can assume Trump was mocking the Pope, and Catholics everywhere.

(Biden had a black suit with a blue tie, so I think we can assume he was mocking Trump.)

Pizzaball's and Zouppi's popularity is highly dependent on the appetite of the other Cardinals, that's why they drop off after dinnertime.

Cardinal Zuppi is the one who comes closest to what pope Francis started IMHO.
If I had a choice he would be my candidate.

I don't know enough about the different cardinals to know who I'd like the most. It occurred to me that there probably exists an optimum level of progressiveness to have in the Pope to annoy American Republicans. If the new pope is too progressive, it will make it easier to write him off and ignore him. I'd love to see the next pope be able to talk to them, but also not shy about reminding them that fascism isn't really that Christian.

At the moment there are a lot of news sites that have articles about what they see as possible candidates to fill the sede vacante.

Well, cardinals are territorial and mark their territory with song.

They're also mainly granivorous, but also feed on insects and fruit.
