The Swiss Guard carrying the Pope's coffin.

Mrs. Trump, looking very dignified.

Macron mediates.

Söder takes a selfie.

And millions of hard-right white Catholics contemplate if they should wait until tomorrow to start lighting candles and frantically crying up to Heaven that the next Pope be...

*checks notes*

... some cardinal from black Africa. Confusing absolutely everyone.

The funeral is over. Franziskus has been laid to rest. May his soul find peace. Amen. ✝️

The Pope is dead. Long live the Pope.

Is the Easter bunny with the Trumps today?

Cardinal Sarah doesn't seem bad tbh.

There's a line for Cardinal Sarah. No pushing, no shoving, take a number.

Well of course, depends on the outcome of the election.

That doesn't mean us followers of the Church can't have an opinion.

The betting offices have him in seventh place and rising and everyone at the German bishops conference is pre-lecturing the German cardinals to pick someone nice and friendly, instead.

They're now at the Bargaining Stage, where they start offering up "Cardinal Sarah, the light version" (pun full intended) cardinals, as an alternative.

It's been mildly entertaining to watch.

Where are you following this?

German news.

Cardinal Mueller is on the short list, and he's from my town (same as Benedikt), so everyone is excited.

I like Cardinal Müller, but I don't think he has a chance.

Well, at least he can finally vote, now.
