I understand not being Catholic, or even religious at all. That's your prerogative.

I don't understand being disrespectful when others are in mourning though.

That's all I'm going to say about your comment.

Gazpacho.

I thought it was a bit callous carting out a man who was clearly very ill so he could perform yesterday.

I liked him more than the others and I am saddened by his demise. I hope that the Conclave's next choice builds on his progressive works, though I sincerely fear not.
