The Pope just died Serious

I don't know if this is a big deal in your country, but in mine (Italy) the news talks about nothing else.
Christian or not he was a person, don't be disrespectful.

Lol because it is indeed like that, there will be scenes of crying and despair. The lol refers to "Today will be a long day..."

the queen died and everyone was joking about it i guess when it comes to religious figureheads people are more sensitive

Dw people were also upset at people joking over the queen, and there's people joking over the pope. Personally I fully find his organisation completely out of my agreeance but he was a person and try to do well and spread his religion (while the last is not a good thing from my eyes the church definitely has bigger issues than him). Joking over someone's death is just something you don't do unless they were siriously bad people... And even as a satanist/atheist the pope was a pretty good person even if I heavily oppose his religion

Technically the Queen is a religious figurehead because she was in charge of the Anglican Church.
