roaming_comrade 471 Posted October 6 Id 2 hours ago, The Doctor said: Pope Francis to create 21 new cardinals in December. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/pope-francis-appoint-new-cardinals-dec-8-2024-10-06/ say that means he expects to live for a bit yet. There will be 140 viable cardinals in december, and only 14 reach the age threshold in 2025. With only 120 being allowed at a conclave, id say he expects to make it through 2025. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
