Well Jimmy Savile was amongst like-minded people then. Still, a few Hail Mary's and all is forgiven.

Well, Wisbelch thinks he's infallible and has protection from on high.

Trouble is, Khan would have to report himself for breaching his ULE Zone when the smoke goes up. 😎

The smoke goes up after election.

"One cannot really be Catholic & grown-up." [Orwell] (Cue Wisbelch with this is not factually correct.)

'the Two Popes' movie is brilliant.

'Conclave' with Fiennes, not so good.

The Woke Pope has gone to his eternal sleep.

Even by the pretty low standards of comments on this site, that's a pretty derogatory observation.
Thake a look at the life he led and how simple and self effacing that was - very admirable qualities. Indeed, the instructions he left re his funeral and grave bear absolute testament to that. Did he and the broader church make mistakes - yes, of course. He was a human being like the rest of us.
I doubt somehow that these observations might make you reflect but they should certainly be challenged. Anyway, the above is a very different perspective to the numerous posts you have written on the subject of a man wo has just died and is worthy of respect whether you agree with his views or not.
