It solely effects Catholics. Not even all Christians. I don't give a rats arse what you believe in (so long as you don't push it on me). Yes, a Leader of one of the biggest religions passed and a new one has been elected, fine, 5 minutes for his death, 3 minutes for his Funeral, 5 minutes to announce the new Pope. That's 13 minutes of news reports over 3 days.
There are famines, disasters and wars going on both locally to everyone and in other parts of the world. These are the things we should be focussing on, not the death of the Leader of one of the worlds richest Tax Evaders
