Drinking Skeptically - May 2025

Join CFI WNY on Friday for Drinking Skeptically! Drinking Skeptically provides a space for skeptics to network, talk, share ideas, and drink in a fun, informal setting.

This month's topic:
We've got a dead Pope, a magic hammer, and a broken ring. That means it's time for a new Pope. Was the former Pope as good for skeptics and atheists as his reputation? Does the institution still matter? Will the next one be "the black Pope" which ushers in the end times (according to Nostradamus and quick note: "black" is not a race reference). Join us for a conversation on the Vatican, Vatican conspiracy theories, and the background story of that hammer.
