07.10.2025 11:08 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Luciani was elected on the fourth ballot of the August 1978 papal conclave. Luciani had previously said to his secretary, Father Diego Lorenzi, and Father Prospero Grech (later a cardinal himself), that he would decline the papacy if elected, and that he intended to vote for AloΓsio Lorscheider, whom he met in Brazil.[4] Cardinal Sin of the Philippines told him: "You will be the new pope."[16]
Old men were more reliably terminal in those days. I'm reminded of Pope John Paul I, and my sister taking a look at the telly and saying well he's not got long. Which has now led me to this strange detail from his Wiki page: there was a Cardinal Sin!

We are calling for an immediate ceasefire and a surge of lifesaving humanitarian aid. All remaining hostages taken in Israel must be allowed to return home, and Palestinians held in arbitrary detention must be released.

We are confronting a grim reality: Doctors canβt stop genocide. World leaders can.
Over the past two years, Israeli forces have systematically destroyed the conditions necessary for life in the Stripβattacking hospitals; striking camps for displaced people; destroying vital civilian infrastructure; and choking off access to food, water, medicines, and other basic needs.

In response, the Israeli military launched an all-out war in Gaza.
For two agonizing years in Gaza, weβve been providing surgical care, wound and burn care, malnutrition screening and treatment, maternal and pediatric care, and other vital services while working under fire and under siege.β―www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/two-y...
