A new pope has been chosen, and people online have witty remarks about when Cardinal Tagle was not selected.
The Roman Catholic Church’s new leader is Pope Leo XIV, and with Cardinal Tagle not selected in the conclave, people online share these funny remarks.
Pope Francis died at the age of 88 due to a stroke that led to a coma and caused his heart to fail. Over a week after he was laid to rest, a papal conclave was held, a traditional process that is done to choose a new pope.
It started on May 7, and after three rounds of voting, a new pope has been chosen. The Roman Catholic Church’s new leader is Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. He chose to be called Pope Leo XIV. He is the first American pope, and the world celebrated the start of a new era.
Before a new pope was named, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle and other cardinals, such as Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Cardinal Peter Erdo, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, Cardinal Peter Turkson, Cardinal Sergio da Rocha, Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes, Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonca, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, and Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, composed the list of potential successors to the pope.
The country was hopeful, but the result, different from their expectation, did not do anything to make them any less happy. However, as Filipinos, we have witty minds, and when it comes to entertainment like this, the people unite.
A lot of people shared funny posts, and here are some:
“muntikan na pala si Cardinal Tagle kung nagpahuli sya nang konti”
“NUNG HINDI INAANNOUNCE AS POPE”
“…the establishment of his NGO Angat Langit…”
