So this might be a stretch, but hear me out.
Pope Francis passing away the day after Easter Sunday feels strangely symbolic. Easter is the holiest day in Christianity, all about resurrection and new life. And then the leader of the Catholic Church dies right after that?
Part of me can’t help but wonder if he actually died before Easter, and the Vatican just waited to release the news until after Holy Week was over. They’ve always been pretty private when it comes to papal health. It wouldn’t be the first time the Vatican controlled the timing of major announcements to maintain a certain image or avoid disrupting sacred events.
Think about it. If they announced the Pope’s death on Good Friday or Easter, the entire vibe of Holy Week would’ve shifted into global mourning.
I’m not saying I know this happened but doesn’t the timing feel a little too perfect?

JD Vance met the Pope on Easter Sunday. So either he was alive as of Easter, or the plot thickens.
This one’s got legs
The 88 club.
People die. I will one day die. You will one day die. We don’t get to choose the day we die. When it happens, it happens.
He was just a kid
unlucky u are alive today
He was at St Peter’s square yesterday on the balcony and JD dickhead met him yesterday as well. So I’m pretty sure he didn’t die before Easter.
People make it to their birthday and die, make it to New Years and die, make it to their anniversary and die so a Pope making it to Easter and dying at 88 while in poor health honestly doesn’t seem weird.
