On the Pope’s death and/or legacy: I have no position.


Update: But I will say that papabile is a cool word.

Especially if you make it an English word and pronounce it pape-able. (Rhymes with capable.)

(As for the suggested English equivalent, pope-able: I wave my paw and say “Bah.”)

Fair enough. :)

You may be the first person who has actually said that. And I'm grateful.

I don't have any position on his death, but I do on his life. And actually I didn't think I had a position on that until I read some other positions by other people that stirred something in me, and then I was like, oh who knew? But then again, it's probably not even the pope I have a position upon, but on issues that surround him and which he interacted with, etc.

I agree re "papabile." I almost said the same in my entry the other day, but I already had too many digressions in that entry.
