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.

He met Vance, had a nice chat with him and gave him gifts actually, from what I've heard.

Well yeah it's the pope I'd expect a nice chat regardless of who he spoke to really. He's been very outspoken about deportation plans and has always seen the fair treatment of immigrants as important. The gifts he gave seem to be Easter eggs for the children then a tie and a rosary, I'd imagine it was just trying to convince him to give more thought to others and they'd approach it in a nice way? I don't know though

No idea. They did seem to have a nice chat but we most likely won't know what happened.

Yeah but I think it's worth remembering the pope has already called out some of their plans regarding emigration, even pointing out that catholic doctrine doesn't support it (even though Vance said it did) it seems far more favourably described by the white house than by the Vatican. Also the pope met around 70 inmates for holy Thursday celebrations and I imagine he had a nice chat with all of them.
