    It would be more than coincidence if the next Pope was an ultra-conservative, GOP-friendly guy from the US and A. Of course this would never happen, but… ehm… who knows?

      From what I understand, the rest of the Roman Catholic Church sees US Catholics as weird and a kind of lost cause. So I have doubts that the US would have too much sway over the conclave.

        They usually are, but I also had doubts that a weirdo becomes POTUS again. Everything seems to be possible these days…

        Good one, this needs to be much higher.

        I was going to post that HitlerPig will be pushing his own choice for Pope, and here we are. Now I’m wondering if Couchfucker slipped something into the Pope’s tea.

          JD probably got the measles and took it to see an old sickly man. Hence why he was so insistent on seeing him.

            Vance is too stupid, he’d fuck it up.

            Remember this?

            He’d end up putting the Iocaine powder in his own tea.

            Someone else in his entourage did something nefarious.

            I doubt that the Catholic Church is big enough in the US for them to have that much of an influence on who the next pope is. There hasn’t ever been a pope from the US.

              There hasn’t ever been a pope from the US.

              Boom! There’s the hook. The Catholic church is HUGE in America, the fourth highest Catholic population in the world, behind Brazil, Mexico, and Phillipines, and ahead of countries like Italy, Spain, France and Argentina, all of whom have contributed Popes.

              Expect the MAGA Nazis to demand that the next Pope be an American of their choice, with all sorts of threats to follow, including removing their tax-exempt status.
