    Guys. Joe Biden is Catholic. The Vatican has an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

    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!

    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.

      Thank you for sharing this I’m as atheist as can be and I don’t really have a good view of the Catholic Church (or most churches) in general for obvious reasons but this pope was indeed better than the ones before him and that was a good moment from him

    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…

    🤔

    Trump only likes popes that don’t die at a similar age. In fact, had the pope become president and leading racist nazi asshole, he would be alive today.

    My theory is that pope Francis when to see where the heck god is at. Cuz WTF man!

    Friendly reminder: Progressive for a pope is still a transphobe who actively facilitated the rape of children. Not to mention all the horrific colonizer shit.

    Rest in piss Frankie boy.

      I hate that you’re right. Like, seeing how kind and compassionate the man was outwardly in the day to day and knowing of the horrors he and the church participated in and tried to hide… It makes me all the more sour to organized religion.

      100%

      After the way he let Robert Finn skate when he ran cover for a priest raping kids, Francis belongs in Hell. It’s a bummer that Hell isn’t a real place.
