POPE POPE THERE'S A POPE

[citrusbuds]

the death of pope francis has made me aware just how american both tumblr and reddit is.

on twitter, my sister is seeing posts about how the voting of the next pope is so important for the entire world. here? on reddit? im getting sick of the JD Vance jokes. it was funny when i found out but its all you guys are talking about.

can everyone collectively step back and look at how important the pope actually is. not just a little meme or a silly old man in the vatican. how so many people in the world base their beliefs and morals on what the pope says. truly hellsite.

CONCLAVE STARTS MAY SEVENTH SCREAMS

[comfymoth]

frantically googling how to become a cardinal over the course of a weekend so i can vote for cardinal tagle one billion times

[howisthepope]

Round 1 - It is time to vote for your favourite cardinals and see who should win the pope vote according to the tumblr population. Every poll runs for a day. The first round will be 8 cardinals each (except 1 poll because maths) and after that there will be 2 cardinals per poll. In the first round, the 2 most voted cardinals per poll will continue. Propaganda is encouraged for your favourite cardinals (as are any artistic endeavours of course), but please don't insult each other.

Consider locking yourself in a room while you vote to make it seem more real All posts can be found under #popepoll

Cardinal Tagle or any good candidates for a new Pope, please consider choosing 'Innocent' as a new name, you have the opportunity to do something so fucking funny 🙏

Cardinal Tagle and His Candy

The story about Cardinal Tagle giving Cardinal Prevost (now Pope Leo XIV!) candy is running around the Philippines, but I'm not sure the wider world knows! And, since it's a cute story, I've decided to share it with you guys :) OG Video of Cardinal Tagle telling the story:

My translation (I bolded the part with Pope Leo XIV, but I think the whole story is worth listening to!)

I go back to 2013, where we experienced that first afternoon...our first experience of the conclave. We only vote once in that first day, considering that all the traditions and oath-taking and things are already very long.

When I saw how long all that took...and we weren't that many cardinals back then, okay, we were about 119. Now, we're....133! Even then, I thought the process was so very long. And tomorrow? Two votes in the morning, two votes in the afternoon. Who knows how long it will all take.

So, I brought candy.

If your stomach starts to grumble, at least you have some candy, right?

After I gave my ballot and sit down, I unwrapped and ate a piece of candy. The cardinal next to me nudged me. In Italian, he said, "What did you bring in the Sistine Chapel?!"

I said, "Candy! Caramel."

"This little boy!" he exclaimed. "Bringing candies in the Sistine Chapel!"

I said, "But the conclave process is so long...sometimes I get hungry."

He said, "Do you still have a piece? Give me one, too!"

"You wanted one and still you were pretending to be mad?" I gave him a piece! He's from Columbia, you know.

That's why, whenever we see each other, he remembers what happened and goes, "Ah! This small boy with his candy."

Now, when Pope Francis was elected, the Cardinal Deacon who's supposed to announce him at the time was Cardinal Tauran. He has Parkinson's, and his speech is a little affected by that. When we were leaving, he was shaking a little, and he told me, he grabbed my arm and said, "I was scared that people wouldn't be able to hear me, maybe my voice wouldn't be clear, you know..."

I said, "It's okay, be calm, be calm." I pulled candy out of my pocket and pushed it to him. "Eat some candy! So you can relax."

This time around, I also was always bringing candy [to the conclave]. Next to me was Cardinal Prevost. When he started taking deep breaths, I leaned toward him and asked, "Would you like some candy?"

He said, "Yes, please, give me one!"

So there! That's my first act of charity to the new Sancto Papa. So there were many moments like that.

Yesterday, when he'd already chosen his name and everything...we all have our own prayer pamphlets[?]. We each had one. [Pope Leo] asked me a question before he reached the two-thirds majority. I answered his question by writing on my pamphlet and passing it to him. He read it, and then he ripped off the page of the pamphlet that I'd written on.

Well, then, my prayer book, prayer guide...it was lacking a page! What he did, he gave me his prayer pamphlet and said, "Look, we'll switch!"

After he became the pope, I said, "Oh, you owe me something. Sign the prayer pamphlet! Sign it!"

He said, "Here, this is my first signature as Pope. Leone."

I tucked it away. It's still with me! [...]

So, all that happened, and you have to still show, especially to him...this humanity. Because you know how....I mean, us, we all hold just one diocese, and even then it's a heavy responsibility. One dicastery, thats also very heavy. But imagine, being responsible for everything! So, those little acts of kindness, of humanity, I think can sustain a person, covered by God.

BONUS - I don't think I should repost it to tumblr, but this is a REALLY sweet comic about it by cartoonist ZACH: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18nYftgxzJ/

Advocates of abuse victims are rooting for a Filipino pope — and it’s not Cardinal Tagle

Among 133 cardinals locked in the Sistine chapel, three Filipinos are voting to elect the future pope. While Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle is topping the list of “papabili” in the world press, it’s another Filipino that would please advocates and victims of clerical sexual abuse. His name is Cardinal Pablo Virgilio Siongco David of Kalookan. Survivors and victim-advocates, speaking ahead of the…

Reflection: Be Holy

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, then Bishop Chito, was our professor in Theology of the Priesthood. During our first session, he asked us, “Can you give me a biblical passage that speaks about the ordained priesthood?” Each of us gave our answers, and he would always respond with this question: “Does it refer to the ordained priesthood?”

In the end, he told us that nothing in the Bible speaks directly of the ordained priesthood. He explained that the only priesthood mentioned in the Bible, particularly in the New Testament, is the priesthood of Christ. This is very evident, especially in the letter to the Hebrews. Now, the ordained priesthood, being a sacrament, is instituted by Christ, and the priest does not own his priesthood. He only participates in the one priesthood of Christ. Thus, his action is in persona Christi (in the person of Christ). Every time he performs his priestly function, it is not him but Christ who acts. When the priest baptizes, it is Christ who baptizes. When he absolves sins, it is Christ who forgives. When he celebrates the Eucharist, it is Christ who acts.

Theologically speaking, the priesthood is not limited to the ordained. Our doctrine also teaches about the common priesthood of the baptized. What does this mean? It means that by virtue of our baptism, we share in the triple functions of Christ, namely, priestly, prophetic, and kingly.

The priestly function is our participation in the holiness of Christ. Being baptized, we are to strive to make our lives holy. Holiness, therefore, is a universal call. You are called to be holy and to make your life pleasing before the eyes of God. Holiness is achieved when we avoid sins and fulfill the will of God, when we live our virtues daily, when we pray, when we do good, and the like.

Be holy—this is your priesthood!

~Fr. Eugene Fadul

How do you practice your priestly function as a baptized Catholic?

Help me to always remember my triple functions as a baptized Catholic. Empower me, Lord. Amen.

Prayer

… for a deep and profound respect for life, especially for the unborn.

… for the strength and healing of the sick.

… for the healing and peace of all families.

Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most.

GOD BLESS!

Faithful warned vs. bogus solicitation e-mail using Tagle's name

#PHnews: Faithful warned vs. bogus solicitation e-mail using Tagle's name

MANILA – The Pontificio Collegio Filippino (Pontifical Filipino College) in Rome on Wednesday has warned the public against an unscrupulous e-mail from a hacked account purportedly soliciting money to pay for the hospital bills of former Manila archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle.

The Archdiocese of Manila Office of Communications reported that Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of Pontificio Collegio Filippino informed the office regarding the e-mail being used which is under the name of a certain Dr. Ramon Ramos.

“A hacked e-mail is being used to solicit money for His Eminence Luis Antonio Card. Tagle’s alleged hospitalization in UMC De La Salle, Dasmarinas City, Cavite. The hacked e-mail containing the fraudulent appeal bears the name of Dr. Ramon Ramos from Imus, Cavite (Cardinal Tagle’s hometown),” Gaston said in a statement.

Gaston also confirmed that Tagle is in good health performing his tasks in his office at the Vatican concerning evangelization.

“Please rest assured that Cardinal Tagle is doing well in Rome, carrying out his ministry at the Vatican as Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples,” Gaston added.

He reported that Tagle was received by Pope Francis on Monday noon in an audience with the residents of the Pontificio Collegio Filippino during the 60th anniversary celebration of the institution.

In 2015, Tagle’s personal email address was hacked.

In January 2020, before the cardinal flew to the Vatican for his new assignment, a fraudulent text message also circulated asking for cash donations to buy a gift for him during a supposed farewell Mass and testimonial dinner.

The public is warned and reminded that the official communications channel of Tagle is only through the Vatican and not through any private person using e-mail or social media accounts. (PNA)
