Conclave to select the new Pope for the RCC has begun

Maybe his supporters can storm the Vatican.

 

We could have had Pope Thatsaspiceymeatball I

 

Vatican City is surrounded by walls. My understanding is that makes it impenetrable from outsiders

 

I dunno, those Swiss Guards have halberds ... and have you seen their pantaloons? Very intimidating.

 

And they're Swiss Guards. . . no joke!

 

Has Trump taken credit for The American Pope yet?

 

He's a woke Pope from Chicago, I think its more likely he'll be blamed for street crime by conservatives

 

Only a matter of time before Trump comes after the new Pope.
Pope Leo's takes strong stance against Trump's deportation policy exposed
New Pope Leo XIV spent years retweeting criticism of Trump policies

 

I thought the last Pope was the Woke Pope. Is this guy woker?

 

Well, he looks Popeish.


Or maybe high school guidance counselor.

 

I dont think he's actually 'woker.' He does seem like a consolidation pick of the work Francis was doing, but the NYT profile from before he was elected portrayed him as sort of a moderating force. Seems like he will keep the church on its current course but probably not go far beyond Francis with reforms and such. But the JD Vances of the world arent going to like him.

 

This will likely cause a schism with New York Catholics over what this guy probably considers pizza. They will seek leadership from Pierbattista Pizzaballa.

 

Since you brought it up …

 

Imagining another Avignon papacy over the NY slice vs deepdish schism

 

Excellent news.

 

Which I don't even get. They're essentially two different types of food. If anything, comparison should be NY vs. Chicago Pub Style (the little squares).

 

Newsmax's Rick Santorum criticizes Pope Leo XIV for using "buzzwords of the left"

Charlie Kirk: "Mr. Prevost, the new pope, was retweeting George Floyd propaganda"

 

Look out Rome. Here we come.

 

I wonder if the new White House Anti-Christan Task Force will look into this attack on Christianity?

 

Apparently, he is a baseball guy. He is supposedly a Cubs fan.
