Will he be replaced by an alt-right pope?

 

[riverman]

RIP sadly as a South American, had he lived in the US Vance would have had him deported. I hope he set the asshole straight before he checked out.

Appears he died of respiratory issue / asthma. RIP

All Hail Pope Sly I

The rumblings are already ominous. There appears to be a real possibility that Catholicism might be on the verge of going back to the ultra conservative dark ages. Mini Trumps in Roman collars are apparently jockeying for position. Fortunately the Church has no legal authority or we'd really be fucked........but unless the more "liberal" elements of the College of Cardinals stand firm, I wouldn't be surprised if the Church reverts back to pre Vatican II repressive Catholicism......the longer civilization exists, the more stupid mankind becomes.....

So will HE be back in 3 days too?

On that note, when Jesus rose from the grave 3 days after his crucification, did he just got back to his plumbing job or electrician or whatever he was? I’m sure he was UNION

He was a carpenter. Allegedly.

The safe bet on a new Pope is one similar to the old Pope. But who knows, maybe they'll do a bone throw to the tradcaths and elect an old, short term sort of guy like Robert Sarah to bridge the gap into the 2030s.

Here's hoping. I have a ton of respect for Pope Francis.

Didn't Nostradamus predict he was going to be the last Pope?

Nostradamus was never a Pope, so how could he have been the last one?

That's the Godfather of prophecy you are talking about

He made the Pope an offer he couldn't refuse.

[Chris Craig]

She celebrated his death?

She celebrated his death?

 

[barfo]

I guess she'd be right, if the Pope had killed JD Vance, rather than the reverse.

That's messed up. Not surprised though.

TRUMP CALLED OUT AT POPE'S FUNERAL

SLAMMED FOR BEHAVIOR

BLUE SUIT DRAWS ATTENTION

 

[crandc]

He is such an embarrassment. Obviously bored by homage to Pope, spent his time tweeting denunciation of Zelenskyy, crowing about Milwaukee judge arrested, critiquing NFL draft and other topics of importance.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Israel leadership called him antisemitic because he called out Israel for being a terrorist nation and that Jesus was a Palestinian. They refused to pay honor to him by attending. What a great ally...
