I’m having a hard time understanding why the fuck this matters so much. You’d think they were discussing critical, top secret information. But, nope…just who the next Pope is going to be.
And normalising it is a good thing all-round. You want privacy to be used for trivial, unimportant things, not for it to be seen as something that only most secret vital things need, and thus something most don’t.
People would be more likely to use it that way.

I mean you get caught fucking a bunch of children and see what happens to your bank account lol. I’m amazed it’s that much with how much fewer people attend church each new generation over the last. I’m 37 and don’t know a single person +/- 10years from my age who even acknowledges religion in any sense muchless enough to give money to any religous organization. As far as I can see it’s all boomer money and it has to be dwindling fuckin fast.

You live in a bubble. As a teacher, a lot of young students have already been indoctrinated into religion by the age of 12, most of them will never escape.

Setting aside the financial management of the church, it’s one of the largest organizations in the world which tells people what the purpose of life is. Its members believe the person they’re selecting has authority from God to say what actions are right and wrong.
While I don’t personally believe that, hard not to see it’s a position of significant power and people have an interest in knowing or influencing the outcome.

To put this into context, there are approximately 1.5 billion Catholics in the world. Thats a little under five times the population of the United States, or roughly 1/5 of the planets population.

Right, just one of the most powerful religious positions in the world overseeing a vast real estate empire worth billions to trillions of dollars, who will be appointed for life, and who cannot be questioned due to having the authority of God himself. Not important or interesting at all. /s

I struggle to think of any more powerful. The pope is also the head of a sovereign nation-state.

advocating for privacy means you don’t get to chose which subjects are important and which ones are not
And normalising it is a good thing all-round. You want privacy to be used for trivial, unimportant things, not for it to be seen as something that only most secret vital things need, and thus something most don’t.

That’s actually far less than I expected.
