The Simpsons Did Not Predict Pope Francis’ 2025 Death

Following the death of Pope Francis, videos emerged claiming to show scenes from The Simpsons, allegedly predicting the Pope's death in 2025. The footage features Kent Brockman reporting the Pope’s death, attributing it to bronchitis, while other clips suggest that the Pope would die from lung issues after being hospitalized for three weeks.

In the supposed episode, Lisa is shown discovering an old book in a library titled “End of a Cycle, 2025”. As she reads, she learns that every decade, an unexpected event shakes the foundations of the Vatican.
