RIGHT NOW, per ‘The Pillar‘, this is still hearsay.

Even if these SUPPOSED ‘General Congregation‘ related changes come to pass, I will NOT take issue with them.

Overall, IF that is all the pope intends to do, these changes are BENIGN & TRIVIAL.

As it is, attending the ‘General Congregations’ is NOT mandatory for the over-80 (i.e., non-elector) cardinals. This just takes it to the logical conclusion.

Yes, you can argue that the over-80s bring EXPERIENCE & expertise to the meetings. But, they DON’T have to attend the formal meetings to impart their wisdom to the under-80s. That is why they have PRATTICHE. {Look it up.}

Also to be fair, by the 6th General ALL of the important & NECESSARY work, i.e., setting up the LOGISTICS & protocols, is done. After that it just becomes a stage for grandstanding. Check what actually happened in the last two instances in my ‘The Conclave‘ book — Appendix A.

So, these two supposed changes to the Generals bother me none.

Yes, the over-80s will be LIVID. They will have to learn to live with it. {Smile}

But, I doubt IF these are the ONLY TWO changes the pope has in mind. {Smile} But, then again, he is old & not thinking that clearly. {Smile}

Link Between COVID & Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Could This End Up Being The Ultimate “Darwin Award”?

When I happen to see it on a news feed a couple of days ago I thought it was a joke — a naughty prank. But, I made a note to check it out. I did, & boy, am I glad I did.

Wow. They are CLAIMING that there appears to be a link. They are also quoting that men who get COVID are 5x to 6x times MORE likely to end up with ED.

But, I wonder if there could be a DIFFERENT link. We know that the obese, elderly & diabetic are more susceptible to COVID than others. The obese, elderly & diabetic are also prone to ED. So, do we have to factor that in? I don’t know. I haven’t seen the studies or numbers.

But, if we assume that it is indeed the case that men who get COVID could end up with a higher chance of getting ED, would not that be a great incentive to get vaccinated?

I am surprised that President Biden & others are NOT using this to encourage men to get the vaccine.

And herein comes the ‘Darwin Award‘ angle; i.e., giving evolution a much-need helping hand. Kind of straightforward. Men too ‘bullheaded’ to get the vaccine stand a greater chance of getting COVID than those that get the vaccine. The unvaccinated men that do get COVID have a higher chance of getting ED. While ED will not stop them completely of procreation, it sure can slow it down. Lower the chances of propagating their genes. That might NOT be a bad thing.

So? Will this, going forward, prove to a ‘Darwin Award‘ scenario?
