Do other religions go to such great lengths to cover this kind of news? Like would we see the same for the Dalai Lama?
Bring him back, take Trump instead
I fucking hate you Vance, this is your fault!
RIP Pope Francis. Glad you put Just Dumb in his place.
Any signs of plutonium poisoning?
He was like man this guy sucks, I don’t want to live in a world where this guy has power, then dies. I feel the same dude…
Guys. Joe Biden is Catholic. The Vatican has an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
Gfdi. I’m not religious, but knowing that Catholics are going to choose a new Pope, I can only look forward to more bad news of comformity to godawful world news in the form of a shitty New Pope who inspires and empowers all the shitty people.
Great, one more thing to make the world even worse.
Pope is recovering;
-
meets JD Vance
-
dies a couple days later…
Hmm
-
Rest in peace Pope Francis 🕯️
I actually saw a headline yesterday about how the Pope “ghosted” JV Dunce. 😫👻
JD Vance: “How long have you worked here?”
Is Francis really your name? What’s on your birth certificate?
“Have you said Thanks, even once?”
His last words: “Dear Father in heaven, that unsufferable man!”
Looks like it’s time for another pope race. I would like to throw my hat in the ring. As a lapsed Catholic trans woman who’s never so much as visited a seminary, I know I’m an unorthodox choice. But maybe it’s time to mix things up. My central campaign planks? We’re going to bring back indulgences and try to make the Papal States a thing again. Also, expect skits and improv sessions to have a big place in Catholic mass in the future!
I know I’m an unorthodox choice.
There’s a joke somewhere in here
Your candidacy would put the Church in quite a predicament, for sure. They could either embrace a trans woman as a leader (confirming that there’s nothing wrong with trans people) or reject her for being a woman (therefore admitting that one can, in fact, change their gender).
Of course, this is a false dichotomy, but a good PR team could spin it as a human rights win either way.
“As a lapsed Catholic trans woman who’s never so much as visited a seminary, I know I’m an unorthodox choice.”
As someone in the same position good luck
Only guys can be Pope.
This, in the Catholic Church, transwomen actually do count as women. Recent ruling, they’re against “Gender Ideology”, whatever the fuck that means, but make exceptions for transpeople due to Francis ruling gender dysphoria a geniune medical issue that is exempt from rules against whatever “Gender Ideology” is
Hey, hey, hey… there’s always Pope Joan. ;)
The child in me kind of wishes he had passed on 4/20 Easter, but alas.
That being said, while I’m not religious I appreciate a lot (not all) of what this Pope has done. His Apostolic Exhortation on the Idolatry of Money, and the gross inequality wrought by capitalism is worth a read.
For the time he had, the distance he brought the Church is pretty impressive. I will go to my grave believing that organized religion does more harm than good, nothing they ever do will change my mind. That said, he really was an agent for positive change, especially compared to Darth Benedict, who preceded him.
Some gold from that document:
In this context, some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system.
Would be funny to make a quote collection titled “Who said this? Pope Francis or a socialist?”
Not to mention his stance against zio terrorism. That’s probably why he’s being replaced.
He’s being replaced because he dead yo.
Good pope tho.
I like the implication that they interrogated a dead body about its opinion on terrorism lmao
It wouldn’t be the first time!
oh I forgot about that, you win this comment section 😂
Don’t worry. If I’m elected pope, you’ll get to see the return of the Cadaver Synod, bigger and better than ever! In fact, I’ll set up a whole special court just to try former popes I have a theological beef with! They’ll have several cases going on simultaneously. I’ll put dozens of former popes on trial!
Okay, we need to know where every US government official was.
Right after the Pope told trump to have some compassion, a very coincidental timing…
🤔
