Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Does the Pope know he's dying?
Is the Pope catholic?

What did he do to @WiliJrINC to bring this upon himself?
I dont know, but he does wear a funny hat.
I remember when they picked this dude that they intentionally picked the older of the candidates so that his reign wouldn’t last that long.
Wonder if they will do the same this time, or go with someone younger?

I'm pretty in the know on this kind of stuff and I have never heard this. Not saying it isn't true but it isn't common knowledge. Wasn't he 76 when concocted?
Im definietly not in the know, just regurgitating what i thought i read a long time ago.
But i remembering them saying there was a good candidatein his 50's last time but since it was a lifetime appointment they figured it was less risky to go with an old.
His comp was an a dark-skinned guy but he may have been Italian i dont remember. Benedict was basically taken out. Most Popes do not retire til death. There was a commie faction from Latin America that shoved Frank up the collective Catholic ass. That is my perspective
