    No one was selected on the first ballot as we saw black smoke out of the chimney.

    Almost no chance today. There will start to be unofficial coalitions by tomorrow based on the voting today where you might have a shot.

    I saw the betting odds last week but figured if you gambled on the next pope you probably get a direct flight to hell, no layovers.

    One of the favorites is Pierbattista Pizzaballa, which is just an incredible, all time, name.

    He shouldn't be selected simply because he would choose a new name that is nowhere near as good as his given name.

    He should choose..... Pizzaballa. Then we'd get to have Pope Pizzaballa. Who needs tradition when you can have a name like that?

    Aren’t the DEI folks demanding a black woman for the next Pope?

    I'm an agnostic who was raised Lutheran (ELCA, but my dad's side is WELS, who believe the pope is the literal antichrist). Here's to hoping for a pontiff who supports a planet where everyone of any faith (or none) can live in reciprocal respect and tolerance, or at least non-violence.

    “……we want you all to seriously consider picking a pope who embraces President Trump’s best qualities,

    As you all undoubtedly know, President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election by a massive landslide, .

    …..The new pope must have a strict “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy when it comes to lies and other “woke” concepts like infidelity, corruption,…..

    Next, the church’s days of denouncing greed must end. The idea that money is the root of all evil does not align with President Trump’s ongoing cryptocurrency ventures ….. “
