Pope Benedict XVI

Recommended Posts

I double checked how long his brother went from announcement of failing health, to death. 13 days. Think Benny will be quicker though.

God, if "famous" animals were allowed on the list, we'd have potentially 3 easy hits if they all stayed on - Pele, Benedict, Kabosu.

At least we haven't seen a picture of him in an Adidas vest, he would have been long gone by now.

Might last a few days but don't see him alive next week.

Very, very funny resigning from an extremely easy job citing exhaustion and frailty then enjoying the benefits and pension for almost a decade. 

 

Also funny telling God that you cannot be arsed hearing him prattle on to you and you only anymore.

It’s not because they announced it today that it means he’s ill since today. He could be ill for a few Times and Francis might just have taken the opportunity to announce it. Which mean he could be dead sooner than we think.

If he goes before the end of the year, he won't be the first senior cleric to go right at the end of a year they were not on the Deathlist, after Desmond Tutu's passing on Boxing Day last year.

ANSA is reporting his condition deteriorated before Christmas.

 

EDIT: respiratory failure apparently.

Depends how highly you regard being elected to a job as important!

Hours I reckon rather than days. I'd be hugely surprised if he made 2023

I wonder if he wants them to turn off the machines and let him go (to hell?).

Dedicating 70 years to her people vs quitting after 10 mins in the job…….no, he won’t!

If he die next year, he will be the most significant death/biggest death for 2023 unless someone like Vladimir Putin or Barack Obama also die next year.

How could he be? He was only Pope for five minutes.

Closer to seven years 317 days and five minutes if my rapid reckoning is right.

Does he get the big funeral if he goes? 
 

A platinum jubilee, State Funeral, Papal funeral and a Coronation all in 12 months. What a time to be alive!
