This went down on news about Pope Francis’s health, it makes sense at a higher level now that we have a healthier new pope

@mattparlmer ...and one who picked his papal name largely because of AI

@ArmandodiMatteo indeed, this should be at 25% at least

Why is this going down? Doesn't it count if the next pope blesses a data center?

@Ersagun Oh no, what was I thinking 😅

None of them is the pope, so I can't resolve as yes for now.

@MarioCannistra does it count if the next pope blesses a data center or does it have to be pope francis

@CoolName Counts.

Any "current" pope.

I generally like the pope, but dont understand theology of blessing physical things well enough.

great question, would him speaking in any capacity at a data center resolve yes, if it isnt a curse?

predictedYES 1y

@ZacharyAustin I don't much understand theology either, but if it happens I'm sure it will be all over the news, and it will be fairly clear that it was a blessing.

Would it count if the Pope delegated authority to bless a data center or would it have to be done personally?

predictedYES 1y

@JonahWeissman Let's say personally.

Can it be remote, though? At least television and radio have been decreed acceptable media for papal blessings as early as 1985 (limited to three times per year for bishops, though): https://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/19/world/vatican-to-allow-indulgences-by-tv.html
