j0neseur0 118 Posted December 28, 2022 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,046 Posted December 28, 2022 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad252 807 Posted December 28, 2022 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
