Just read through it (with help from Google Translate 🥲) and it does seem to line up with other accounts of the Conclave! From what the SEAsian cardinals have been saying on FB, it was pretty chill for them. Not a lot of bad blood from Tagle. He did say he didn’t want the job anyway

Thanks!!

I’d be curious to hear which Spanish & Portuguese journalists are saying that! Especially interesting if the switch in Asia from Tagle to Prevost was prompted by Tagle…

As lovely as the sentiment is, Pope Leo has never said this.

Just because we’ve thought of it before (and IIRC a variant of it IS in the Bible) doesn’t mean we should be attributing it to Pope Leo. The Vatican keeps records of stuff the Pope says. We should not be putting words in his mouth.

Anyway I know people are desperate to make it seem like the new Pope is on their team. I feel like putting words in his mouth to paint him partisan is going against what he’s actually saying about responsible journalism & communication: www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Italian press is saying he’s moving back into the Apostolic Palace: international.la-croix.com/opinions/pop...

Quick Google search doesn’t draw up any official transcripts of his speeches that say he said this, either: bsky.app/profile/seag...

Snopes has already debunked this one: bsky.app/profile/artb...

I’ve got a question about recommended vaccines for adults who are coming back to the US from abroad. What should we get topped up on before we head back?
