@ironicstemfemme I've travelled with a person of coeliac experience and highly recommend it in another language. Glutenfrei. Senza glutine. Libre de gluten.
New from me: a multinational polluter which didnโt pay Aussie income tax for a decade wants to to extend their mine under a Sydney suburbโs water supply.

@Pontifex One (!) Australian cardinal, Mykola Bychok of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Melbourne, will be eligible to vote. At 45 years old, he is currently the youngest member of the College, having been elevated to the position in December 2024.
Conclave has been called! Cardinals will gather on the afternoon of May 7 (late night AEST on the 7th), with the first vote the next morning (mid-afternoon AEST on the 8th).
Once a pope is elected, white smoke emerges from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. Within an hour, the new pope emerges in his robes on the balcony of St Peter's Basilica having chosen his new name - and it will probably also be announced here on @Pontifex.
