    My immediate thought.

    Is he going to declare a crusade to protect the Christian pilgrims in the holy land?

      That’s absolutely not what I had on my bingo card for 2024 but that’d definitely shake up the current crappy reality meta

      He’d be a little late. The same assholes on the Temple Mount who were horribly mistreating Muslim pilgrims to juice up the Hamas leadership’s casus belli have also been spitting on and assaulting Christian visitors from all over the world for years. Francis might as well head to Malta and fire up the bat signal for the still-existing Knights Hospitaller so Doctors Without Borders can get some backup.
