inevitable casting, no?
Fernando Meirelles (City of God) will “direct an untitled film centered on the relationship between Pope Benedict and Pope Francis” for Netflix. “Benedict will be played by Anthony Hopkins and Francis will be played by Jonathan Pryce.”
Hannibal Lecter good choice for the Rottweiler, too

John Paul II was pure evil, though. He was the Reagan of the modern papacy, standing by as hundreds of thousands of people died of AIDS. Francis is at least marginally better

sorry I meant to say 8 million homemade Welcome Pope JP II flags, a rumour was spreading around at the the time for every extra flag you brought to the gig, you get a year in purgatory knocked off .

Cal, it's not something I'm invested in, hugely! It seems that Francis is a better man, by several orders of magnitude, than any other pope in living history and maybe ever.

was listening to an amusing R4 report where some old Irish guy was at first complaining that after waiting for hours, Pope Franny's pope-mobile just whizzed past him in a few seconds and said he'd been told "he was going to be moving a bit slower than that". But then said "to see his smile made my day" and made it a completely worthwhile experience.

Pope needs to advise which patron saint is the one we should be banging down the door of - hopefully not Jude (hopeless causes). Is there a patron saint of disease or plague? Oh, ok, St Roch is our man:
Invoked against: cholera, epidemics, knee problems, plague, skin diseases. Patron Saint of: bachelors, diseased cattle, dogs, falsely accused people, invalids, Istanbul, surgeons, tile-makers, gravediggers, second-hand dealers, pilgrims, apothecaries, Catholic Diocese of Kalookan

When we are in a state of sin, we are like "human bats" who can move about only at night. We find it easier to live in darkness because the light reveals to us what we do not want to see. But then our eyes grow accustomed to darkness and we no longer recognize the light.— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) April 22, 2020

Pope Francis calls for civil union laws for same-sex couples https://t.co/Gv7KDM1fqP— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 21, 2020
The pope gave an interview to the filmmaker, Evgeny Afineevsky, saying that “homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family.”“They’re children of God and have a right to a family,” the pope said. “Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.”

Rod Dreher already ditched catholicism for not being conservative enough and is now orthodox.
This does seem good, but notable that it's just something he's said off the cuff to a documentarian, and not something that he has said in a formal statement.
I also worry that the next pontiff will be more conservative than Bergoglio
