Unraveling End Times: Pope Francis and the Antichrist Conspiracy
The passing of Pope Francis has ignited a firestorm of conspiracy theories, prophecies, and speculation about potential end times and the future of the Catholic Church. We explore the controversial "112 Popes" prophecy that suggests Pope Francis may have been the final pontiff before the apocalypse.
• Pope Francis died at 88 years old on April 22, 2024, just one day after Easter Sunday
• The pontiff had been suffering from multiple health issues including having only one lung, type 2 diabetes, and double pneumonia
• Nostradamus predictions about "a very old pontiff" are being interpreted as referring to Pope Francis by some followers
• The 12th century Prophecy of St. Malachy suggests Pope Francis was the 112th and final pope before the end of the world
• Social media conspiracy theories connecting political figures to the biblical Antichrist have gone viral in wake of the Pope's death
• The Conclave process to select a new pope will likely last only 2-3 days according to our predictions
• Biblical descriptions of the Antichrist involve denying Christ and rejecting God as Father and Son

Speaker 2:But what an interesting week it has been, and I say this because we just had one of the biggest holidays in the Christian calendar happen and then the next day the biggest person in the Catholic community passes away the pontiff passes away. Very interesting. I know that there are so many stories that we'll kind of get into and talk about this evening and kind of dive down some of those roads in regards to the conspiracies that are being talked about about the passing of Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pastor, and I know that there are people that are not truly Catholic and I've heard a lot of stories that have been coming out that they've really enjoyed his presence and his humility, his ability to reach out to the poor and be a part of I don't want to say be a part of that community, but align himself with people of that class of individuals. It's interesting because there are stories that have come out that he had denounced and did not ask for his payment as both which he would have received a check, check but he never took that from the vatican and when he passed away he only had like a hundred dollars. It's quite interesting, uh, the different stories that are coming out about the pontiff, uh, pope francis the first, and his passing right after you know the biggest, the highest mark. You know the biggest, the highest mark. You know the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For those who are Catholic, who are those who are Christian, that that is the big one of the big holidays, right, and the stories that have come out this week and recent days about, you know, the Antichrist and how that is playing into this. And it's just interesting to me that people are going down those roads and the speculation and I'm here for it. I'll be honest with you. I'm definitely here for any type of speculation because clearly that's what this show is all about. And you know the fact that there are individuals that have said and we'll get into all this, but what's interesting, when you go back to think about Pope Francis' passing, we know that he passed the day after the highest Christian holiday and what's interesting to me is that they were able to figure out his death without doing an autopsy because it's part of the tradition that you don't do an autopsy on the pontiff and that they were able to give an official report of his death of a stroke which led to a valve collapsing.
Speaker 2:The Pope had faced several health challenges over the years. I know that he was, you know, had the chronic he was definitely he was type 2 diabetic, but he was also dealing with double pneumonia and so that had really taken a toll on the pontiff, the pope francis, and what's interesting to me, I mean him working to his very last day, and we'll get into that a little bit further, and who he had been around, things of that nature. But going back to february, where the pontiff had spent some time in the hospital, and I know that in earlier years, uh, before becoming the pope, um, there are stories about, uh, jorge mario borgoleo having only having one lung. So that just also plays into the whole fact of him having that. That, you know, having that issue of just having that one lung to do all that work for him. And and yeah, you can, you can live off of one lung, but when you had double pneumonia, things ain't? You know you're going to find it very hard to breathe and and and go through that process. But think about this the Pope was in his final moments, was surrounded by his caregivers in his, you know, in the apartment, very simplistic apartment.
Speaker 2:It just it's sad that he passed away and I know that the, the catholic community is out there mourning, uh, going to get ready to uh bury him.
Speaker 2:If you're listening to us on one of our radio affiliates, um, he gets buried over the weekend, um, and, and that's going to happen.
Speaker 2:If you're listening on how you listen and consume the show, he may have already been buried so you can go back and watch that.
Speaker 2:It just is interesting to me, being someone who grew up Catholic. I know I was baptized as a Catholic, but our faith in the Catholic community, in the church, was kind of like we were, I guess, catholic by association in later in my childhood, kind of being on our own going to church. But on the big holidays, you know doing midnight mass, easter, you know, you know Ash Wednesday, things of that nature, and that's kind of how we were as a family going to church. Terrible, I know, very please don't you know, don't judge me, but I know that there are others out there that can relate to that growing up in Des Moines and going to St Philomena and you know seeing some of my classmates and things of that nature but there were a lot of us that were part of the as, like you know, queen mary passing away and you know the having king charles move in that you don't see it often right, you don't get to experience the majesty of how the pontiff is picked.
Speaker 2:I mean, think about this right now People are watching Conclave on record levels right now. Even I partaked and watched Conclave and I know it's on different platforms and you might be able to watch it for free, but it's on different platforms and you might be able to watch it for free, but it's available. I mean, they've had more streams this last week after the pontiff had passed, and that movie itself is was made or around, based off of mario bergoglio, off of Mario Bergoglio, off of his papacy and not so much, but kind of around Pope Francis, because he became Pope and they were doing the screenwriting during his when he first took, when he was elected to be Pope. So if you're interested in watching that, it's available on all types of platforms to watch it. You don't need to go to the movie theater anymore. Does anybody still go? You know you'll be able to watch it, but I think it's so intriguing now how people are talking about okay, you know, now that the pontiff has passed, I mean it being so close to a holiday, you know him passing away the day after, like, and I know that there are different cardinals that I've seen on television share their stories about wow, if you can go out any way to write your own ending like how awesome is that you know to be able to die on the day after being someone of that holy stature to be the mentor.
Speaker 2:I'm at loss for words. Which word I'm really looking for? Representative of the holy church, for um, representative of the holy church? Uh, I mean, he worked till the end, literally till the end, which blows my mind. And I know that I went back to watch eastern mass, um, and not someone who's dabbled with the religion, like I said, you know, going through and going to church, but not so much to the Catholic church, more to like a Pentecostal church down in Puyallup is where I tend to go, but I still have that drawback to the Catholic Church to watch the magistrate or the religious rituals that are a part of Easter for the Catholic community and how grandiose it is, and so being able to partake and watch, and I was like where's the Pope? Where's the Pope? You see him come out and whatnot, and his part was very small, but he was in really bad shape, you know, and he still was working to the very, very end. Even in his final moments, pope was surrounded by his his care team you know the people that cared for him and members of the the papal house, and he had expressed his wishes to remain at the home rather than be transported to the hospital. And he passed was very discreet and suddenly, and his last words were that he expressed his gratitude to the nurses that accompanied him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. The Vatican had made the announcement of his funeral, which will take place, or has taken place, on April 26th in Peter Square. So if you haven't seen it or you want to watch it I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere and I know that you know this marks the end of his historical papacy as the first Latin American pope and him being transformative figure to the Catholic Church and to many of the Latin community of the Americas to be the first Jesuit Pope Pontiff.
Speaker 2:Where does the Catholic Church go from here? It's going to be interesting when they go to conclave to figure out where the church is going to go, and I know that this now spins. You know, when they go to conclave, this starts to spin in a direction of where's the church really going to go after this and stick with me if you're like where's the conspiracies here? Mario, we're getting there, okay. It's just interesting to me where the church is going to go and how are they going to go. More forward thinking, or do you think are we going to see someone who is more like a blend of a John Paul II, pope Benedict and maybe Francis, kind of a combination of all three? The shepherd, the biblical historic, you know person in Benedict and then you know the compassion and the heart of the two, john Paul and Pope Francis, to make a really great new pope. I mean, that's how I see it going.
Speaker 2:Now the conspiracies start to spin after the pope passes away, because you've got the antichrist uh, conspiracies out here and you have the, the conspiracies from nostradamus predicting his death. There's so many of these out there. In regards to where the conspiracy is going, I love hearing and listening to them Everywhere from. Like I said, the prediction of Nostradamus to is JD Vance, the Antichrist when, you know, are we in the end times where biblical scripture talks about the Antichrist but it also talks about in the church, where Pope Francis is? And this is the interesting part to me and we'll kind of get into this a little bit more is there's only one more spot left for the next pope. There is no more blank spots.
Speaker 2:So the word on the street for this conspiracy hang with me is that there was a prediction that 400 years that someone said that they had predicted that the end of the world will come to an end under the last pope, which is now here. We're going to elect, possibly the last pope. Now you can take that for what it's worth. On what social media platforms everyone is deeping, just letting everyone know and sharing these different stories. I myself, I ain't ready to go, so I'm not. I don't want the world to end today or tomorrow, you know. So on that piece I'm like, no, I'm not ready. But is it possible? Are we in end times, you know? I mean, could you imagine If it was end times? So before we get back, let's go back to the piece where Nostradamus had made this prediction of Pope Francis' passing.
Speaker 2:Now, what's interesting about the 16th century French astrologer? He was often credited for his predictions of the death of Pope Francis. In his crypt writing, nostradamus always referred to the passing of a very old pontiff, which many have interpreted to align with Pope Francis, the recent pope being 88 years old. Nostradamus speculated about the challenges of the church which they are facing after the pontiff passes, including his successor. Who's weakened? Who? Who they think or who nostradamus believes will be weakened in his seat, in his papacy. But of course, these interpretations are open for to debate now don't? Nostradamus being a prophecy and famously having very vague and symbolic predictions, I mean it's up for interpretation. You know, I I'd have to go back to find out who was the oldest Pope, you know, and I believe it might have been Pope Francis. Well, I mean, it says the previous before Pope Francis was Pope Benedict, who had served the Catholic Church, but then he stepped down, but he didn't die. His passing was 95. Pope Benedict was known for his, yeah, but if we're going off the prediction, he resigned.
Speaker 2:He was the first pope to step down. So Pope Benedict, we're going to have to align with that. It's going to be very vague. So I mean, pope Francis might have been the oldest pope, because Benedict was emeritus by then. I guess it's subject to interpretation.
Speaker 2:But you could also say that the Catholic Church was under a lot of turmoil during Pope Benedict XVI's papacy, which made him step down and being the first to do so in 600 years. So at that point I mean, maybe it was Nostradamus making that prediction, maybe it wasn't Pope Francis, maybe it was Pope Benedict XVI Aligning to the Catholic Church having some turmoil and you kind of move forward. And there were some turmoil going back through through that time during his papacy, with the allegations and the different allegations that came forward through the church and what they were hiding, things of that nature. It's to me it, it. It seems like it is like you're, you're right, mario, you're like it is very close. You know, we just don't. I mean it's again a loosey-goosey, it's subject to interpretation. Um, it's something that we think about. And maybe you don't think about this, but could you imagine if you were living in end times right now? Okay, so think about this you live through. There are a lot of us who have lived a very long time Now if you're anywhere from 80 to 8, some of you gone through the pandemic, some of you have gone through 9-11. Some of you may have gone through the Vietnam War, korean War, you've gone through the tear down of the wall, the Cold War, the Great Recession and some of you may still be around listening to this podcast radio show from the Great Depression. So if this is end times, if this was end times, are you worried? Are you sad? Do you have your affairs in order? And when I say that, are you right with your maker? Like, maybe you're a christian, maybe you're, you know, jewish, or maybe you don't have faith. That's okay too. Um, maybe you're muslim or wherever you lie in the middle or however that plays out for you. Can you imagine like this? Is it we're about to turn the lights out on this thing? It blows my mind to think and I hope we're not in end times. That would suck, you know, going back to some of the stuff that has been talked about. Um, let's go back and talk about um as we continue doing the radio show.

Speaker 2:We are looking to continue to grow. Maybe you live in an area where you're listening to the podcast. You're like when I'm driving, I want to hear it on the radio. There's something romantic about listening to the show on the radio. So we'd love to send your program directors an email Say, hey, you got to play US Phenomenon, all right, but let's continue talking about where we are. Are we close to end times? Who is the antichrist? Was the pontiff the antichrist? I don't think anybody would think that. Right, and we know that nostradamus had put that, that prediction there. But the one that gets me the most is the ones that are coming around out right now that are talking about the Antichrist being possibly someone from the United States.
Speaker 2:Now we have some audio and video from TikTok, so it's public knowledge. We're going to play this little piece of audio. Let me know what your thoughts are on this one. All right, let's see how this goes. All right, let's take a listen real quick. This let's see how this goes. All right, all right, let's. Uh, let's take a lesson real quick, let's see what she's. Oh, we lost our connection with this little, uh little, uh, antichrist. Uh, let's see what she says here, and we lost the audio. Oh, bummer, let's see here, see if we got it here. Now, that's a bummer. Well, we'll remove her and see if we can get her to come back and share. Let's see if we can get her to come back on the show. All right, let's see if we can get her back here. Here we go, let's see if we can get her back here. Yeah, what happened to her? Huh?
Speaker 3:There we go. Antichrist in there. That's the only thing. Pope died. Everybody's talking about JD Vance being the Antichrist and I want to tell you that he's not.
Speaker 2:Okay so hold on tight here we go.
Speaker 3:The Antichrist does not operate alone. He has people that work with him. By the way, if you go up to the link where the links live, there's a whole thing about the Antichrist in there. That's the only thing I find worthy right now to put in my link. Go check it out. Okay, because I'm not an avid Bible person, because I'm not, I'm going to read, so pardon me that I'm reading from a screen. But here we go. Okay, the book of Revelations.
Speaker 3:The Antichrist doesn't operate alone. Okay, he's propped up by the false prophet Revelation 13, 11 through 15, a religious figure or spiritual leader who performs signs and miracles to legitimize the Antichrist and deceive the masses. The beast's power comes from the dragon, satan. Okay, he gives power to others to carry out destruction, manipulation and spiritual war. Okay, revelation 13, 4,. And they worship the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worship the beast saying who is like the beast. Okay, translation there is a chain of command. The Antichrist can anoint in power and possess others to act as his energetic agents. He sent JD Vance to kill the Pope. So in this context, trump could empower a proxy somewhat, proxy somewhat like jd to carry out his energy or deliver a death blow, even symbolically, to a dying pope like the pope so the audio and video here suggests that the Antichrist is not JD Vance, which a lot of people are talking about, but is they're saying Donald Trump, which is crazy to me.
Speaker 2:I couldn't imagine that that would be the case. But let's finish listening to her text and we can continue talking about this.
Speaker 3:When he went to go see him, or an entire institution. I mean, it's possible. So JD Vance meets with the Pope just the day before he dies, and what's even funnier is that he brushes him off, and I don't know that it's funnier.
Speaker 2:But okay, continue on.
Speaker 3:Off and sends him to a lesser guy, probably because he didn't feel good, because he was in the middle of dying. But whatever brushes him off to a lesser guy, probably because he didn't feel good, because he was in the middle of dying.
Speaker 2:But whatever brushes him off to a lesser guy and so jd vance goes to meet with the pontiff on easter sunday and this is where the TikTok YouTube, those videos start to come in. The social media posts start to run rampant through the social media community. If you're on TikTok and that's where I'm going with this Is this possible? Is this really possible right now? Are we really talking about that? There's a conspiracy that JD Vance was able to do something like that. I just it's.
Speaker 2:I don't know when are people's minds at these days. Where are we at in society where we're like there's so much trash, so much I don't even want to call it garbage, but it's so much inundation, saturation of stories. You even got my 70 something year old pops believing that this is gospel news stories, articles, things of that nature. But like, oh well, how did you get the news? I got it from social media. What I? I'm an old school guy. I'm an old school guy when it comes to it. If it's not part of and I know people are going to go back and be like well, mario, that's, they're not even safe either some of these entities of news agencies and how the information is being disseminated. You really have to do your, your homework on it. You know and how, everywhere from you know the ap news and which, back in the day, when I was going through college, like you, had to have three credible sources before you could even talk about the story on the radio or it. Just, the times have definitely changed, but this is where we got to like, think about these things.
Speaker 2:I I am one to believe that if the pontiff passed away, he passed away on just of an old age. He was just an old man who had been doing his work for the Lord. He was the Lord's shepherd and was, you know, his physical being here on earth to do the Lord's work. I mean, think about it. His girlfriend at a young age turned him down and then later in life he goes away to become a priest and then he gets elevated to be a bishop, a cardinal, and then eventually he's elected pope. Excuse me, I struggle with a lot of that because someone who I mean, like I said, when we talk about the, you know the antichrist and being end times, I mean, if this is the end times, I mean let's get into it all right. I mean this is the piece of where everyone about it, the, the biblical uh, the bible describes and talks about the antichrist multiple times in the bible, for 1 john 2, 18 it's mentioned that many antichrists have appeared but also speaks in singular the antichrist will come in the last hour. So maybe the antichrist isn't here yet.
Speaker 2:I wish I had a theologian who could come on to share, maybe, some more insight. If you're a part of the, if you're a theologian and you have that knowledge, call us 775-990-5151. We'd love to have you on. This figure denies Jesus Christ as the Christ and rejects both God as the Father and Son. Now we're not getting that from this administration, so I'm not sure why people are calling these two individuals the Antichrist. If it's Donald Trump or JD Vance, we're not getting those denouncements of them not talking about jesus christ and rejecting god is the father and the son. So it's kind of these, these theories out there that are being kind of pushed around. This is what the bible talks about. This is what kind of goes down that roam of like okay, so we can kind of like start chipping away at these stories that aren't they're like look like it's fun.
Speaker 2:Right to talk about it, to speculate. It's like going. It's like old school going to the grocery store. You know, for those of us who grew up in a time where you know we went to the grocery store with our parents, and I know kids still go to the grocery store with their parents, but it's not the same. You don't see the same newsstands.
Speaker 2:Uh, you know those end caps as you go in to the checkout stand where they they still have all the gum there and but you just don't see a lot of the old school sun magazine, you know, the national inquirer. These magazines have become thinner and less public. Their publications are just a little more um, I don't want to say restricted, but they're not all present up front in the, in the, you know, in the cashier line where back in the day you would see these things and you would say, man, uh, wolfman was abducted by aliens, or aliens that made, you know, contact with a child, or human abduction happens. You remember, these days, you know, and these tabloids that were out there producing this content, I mean, let's be honest, I mean that was great former content because y'all picked up, we all did, I know we all did Picked up the magazine, start reading it. Right, you go through and you're like, oh, wow, wow, that's a. And then you put it back because you're like, okay, well, it's my time to check out.
Speaker 2:Right, they're checking out the bags and if you're lucky, there's a, a courtesy clerk bagging your stuff. If you're at a different grocery store, you're bagging it. Um, I mean, but there wasn't always a courtesy clerk, excuse me, at my grocery store back in the day. So we were, we were bagging them. You know, if you're at the local fred meyer, I think they have cash they have back in those days.
Speaker 2:I say that in the 80s they didn't. There were not courtesy clerks back then. I I know what a courtesy clerk is because I spent some time behind bagging groceries back in the day. But yeah, I mean, it says here in the Bible that it talks about the Antichrist and it says that he didn't. You know that the figure denies Jesus as the Christ and rejects both the God, that, both God the Father and the Son. So we're not seeing that from this administration. So you know, you kind of know where people are Well, I guess we don't. This is a speculation and where you think people are in their beliefs and their I don't want to say religious beliefs, but where they lie in regards to their political views.
Speaker 2:So I mean it can go back either way, right. So it continues to talk about in the Bible, about the Antichrist, multiple more times, even in Revelations 13,. The portrayal, the portrays of the Antichrist the beast quote-unquote rises from the sea with a symbolic horns and head, represent the power and the authority. The beast performs a sign and wonders to deceive people. So I guess the interpretation of the beast performing signs and wonders to deceive people so is the antichrist doing christ-like work, healing people, christ-like work, healing people? Are we talking about someone who is a false prophecy the bible does continue to talk about, also warns of the false propherist, as seen in 1 John 4, 3 and John 2, 1, 7. These passages emphasize the vigilant faith to avoid being misled. Let me repeat that. These passages emphasize the faith to avoid being misled. Now, I'm not a theologian. You can go through these and you can say, well, I mean, we can say well, yeah, donald Trump's the Antichrist, but he's not. Jd Vance is not the Antichrist, so it's not this administration. We know that, but we do have people saying that, that the president is the chosen one from Jesus Christ to fix the country, to bring this country back, and I know that we live in such a society where we want things to be so fast and done so quickly. But I don't think that this administration had anything to do with the passing of Pope Francis by any means, where a lot of the predictions and conspiracy theories talk about this, and we know that the Pope passes away and we're going to elect a new Pope. There will be a new pontiff. You'll be able to watch it. You'll be able to see the black smoke. You'll see we won't see the conclave. You'll see the guys go in, probably under film, and do the to-do, but I'm assuming we will have a pope picked out within the first or two voting sessions. They won't be in conclave more than two to three days. That is my prediction there. So if you're into that and I know I will be spending a lot of time watching that and being a part of that process being a former Catholic, you know spending a lot of time going to church, but this gives me an opportunity to go back and watch and I kind of want to get back into why are people thinking that this will be the last pope. Many have said that, um, that there's no more room in, uh, in peter's, in the church, there's no more room. Um, um, the and here's where a lot of this goes back to.
Speaker 2:The idea that Pope Francis might be the last pope stemmed from the prophecy attributed to the 12th century Irish bishop. According to the prophecy, there would be 112 popes from Malachi's time until the end of the world. Pope Francis is considered the 112th pope. Let me repeat that. So when Malachi in the 12th century the Irish bishop, according to the prophecy, there would be 112 popes from Malachi's time until the end of the world, pope Francis is considered the 112th pope. If that is correct, ladies and gentlemen, we are in end times and the prophecy describes the final Pope as Peter the Roman, who led the church during this time of the Great Tribulation following, followed by the desecration of the Rome and the judgment, last judgment.
Speaker 2:While some of the prophecy is intriguing to many scholars, many scholars do dismiss this as a hoax or overly symbolic interpretation. The Catholic Church itself has no official endorsement or has not officially endorsed this prophecy. Why would they? If you're in the church business, then it would be bad for business. There's no way in hell if you're a clergy, if you're that church, I mean. I think there's like one point something billion Catholics that would be bad for business. There's no way that the church is like yeah, that's it. The Catholic Church itself, again, has not made any official endorsements in regards to this prophecy, so the subject remains for debate.
Speaker 2:What do you think about this prediction? Is this fascinating to you or is this far-fetched? Send me a text. 775-990-5151 a text star coming in. We are getting some texts from the us phenomenon text hotline. At 775-990-5-1. Um james, who lives in seattle, goes to saint john's cathedral. Thinks that this is far fetched. There's no way that this is the last. We are in end times, um, but I do love the doomsday conspiracy prophecy. I I I gotta go with you on this one too, but it is intriguing. Right, there were 112 popes, or they believe that Pope Francis is the 112th pope and they describe him as being considered the 112th pope, and the prophecy describes the final pope as peter the rome, who led the church during the time of the great tribulation, followed by the destruction of rome and the last judgment. Okay, I mean, yeah, that would be super bad for business for the Catholic Church if that was the case, you know, yeah, wouldn't be good. Are you excited for the new pope, do you?
Speaker 2:If you're a Catholic maybe you're non-Catholic and I know there's a lot out there and someone like myself who's not practicing the Catholic faith except for, like, on the big holidays, I'll watch midnight mass, easter, ash Wednesday, things of that nature. I know that I spent a lot of time this, since the Pope has passed, being very intrigued watching John Paul's, the election, having him come out, you know, learning the history, the election, having him come out, learning the history about John Paul. I mean for most of my life, I mean for most of our lives. If you're born in the late 70s, you've had like three popes John Paul II, well, actually you had john paul ii, then you had john paul ii, then you had benedict and now francis. So you know, for me I've had, you know, four popes in my lifetime. I don't remember the first one because he wasn't't around for very long and passed away, things of that nature, so his papacy was very short-lived 88 days. But again, it's just, it's fascinating to me.
Speaker 2:You watch and you go back and you watch how they go through conclave the movie's out now, so you can watch that kind of give you a sneak peek. Go through conclave the movie's out now, so you can watch that kind of give you a sneak peek of what goes on. But also the movie that was out there about the two popes you know, benedict and Francis, and that was a good one to watch as well. And you know it shows Benedict and Francis and kind of tells a story about how Mario Bergoglio becomes the Pope and how he was almost elected the Pope After that conclave, after John Paul II passed away. So again, it's just an. It's just like an interesting time right now A renewal for the Catholic Church, a synergy, a new pontiff coming to the head of the church to be a part of one point something billion Catholics.
Speaker 2:Is it going to be someone from? Maybe it's going to be, uh, someone from africa. Maybe it will be someone from the the you know someone from. Maybe it'll be a taiwan or a filipino pope, you know, will it be anlave? Where will these guys vote? And my mind went and drew a blank. But the Cardinals, the College of Cardinals, where are they going to put? Who are they going to vote for? I mean, we're not going to know because they're going to burn the ballots, but I know that the speculation is out there. You know you're going to start to see some of that? Um, here in the next couple days and maybe already we are seeing some of that out that, in that information, who is aligning to be the pope? Because a lot of these guys haven't even met each other.
Speaker 2:Um, so, not a show that we typically would do, but because of the something that I was intrigued by and had some passion about and spent many nights in the last couple days and week to talk about or to think about this and to be a part of not be a part but watch from a distance it's just intriguing to me to be able to say, oh yeah, this is awesome to watch how this goes down. You know, go back and watch some of that on YouTube. You can, you know, you can watch Pope Francis take, you know, come out on the deck and then making the announcement of, you know, you know, like, you hear all that and you get to see the magistrate, but it's kind of the same thing, of like. So those old traditions are still around. Uh, it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next weeks and month. Um on who becomes the next pope, who will be become? Who will become the next pope to lead 1.2, 1.something billion Catholics. It will be interesting Now as we wrap things up here from the Pacific Northwest.
