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.

This somehow reminded me of the joke about a Catholic, a cartographer, a baseball player, and a mathematician all discussing something, but nobody actually knowing what the other was talking about. What were they discussing? Cardinals.

"Pope Francis, who has shunned much of the pomp and privilege of leading the global Catholic Church, has decided that a simple wooden casket will suffice when the time comes for his funeral."

A pontiff so considerate could at least have slipped a clue about the date to dead poolers!

Suffered fall in his apartment.

 

Only got a hematoma and has already appeared in public.

Pope Francis is suffering from a cold and will deliver his Sunday blessing from indoors, the Vatican has said.

The precaution has been announced before a busy Christmas period and launch of the Holy Year that will sorely test Francis’s stamina and health.  Pope suffering with a cold and will skip outdoor Sunday prayer before busy week

Is there any microorganism which hasn't had a go at this man's lungs... erm, lung... this past year?

[John Key 806]

He's gonna be on the deathlist til the day he dies, whether he dies tomorrow or lives another 10 years. 

 

Pope Benedict was 85 (3 years younger than Francis) when he abdicated.

He doesn't look very dashing, but fit enough to troll Macron.

By the way the last Pope died during a Jubilee, was Pope Innocent XII back in 1700.

The BBC article about the Pope's latest message includes the image below. If that's an up to date image he's not looking well in it:

That's what I was thinking

 

As an aside. I wouldn't be dropping him from the next DL. Has had a few hospitalisations over the last year and that coupled with his only having one lung. Even if he has made a few long haul trips recently as well

In normal circumstances I would say the committee should keep him on but with only 5 hits are think there are better names to carry forward into the next list.

20 drops means the committee will have to drop a fair few decent picks.
