I’m going with Danny Devito! That fuck would straighten out the church. He got good morals. He just a nice guy. What about you?

    “You’re the pope?? I didn’t vote for you…”

    • Benjamin Franklin, probably. Or whoever it was that said “Not everything quoted on the internet is real”

    Honestly I don’t care (well, beyond making this pope post), as I am not catholic. I am technically a protestant by heritage, but the truth is that I find even the term “agnostic” to be too religiously loaded to the point where I usually refer to myself as areligious instead.

    As for the pope. Well, he’s… there… well, not right now. But he will be soon-ish. I’ll just accept whoevers named announced while venting smoke from the cardinal thunderdome as being the new pope. And then he’ll be there again.

    Beyond that, he doesn’t affect my life in any way. Nor do I affect his life in any way. Unless he accepts my challenge to an offroad and uphill car race. Yes, he’s gonna have to drive the popemobile himself for this. I’ll be driving my new AWD Lolvo. I’m sure it’ll be fun for anyone involved, no matter who wins.

    But having said all of that: I think Robbie Coltrane would do well as a pope.

    I thought the crowd favorite would’ve been Luigi, though I have no idea what the requirements are for being elected Pope.

    Satan. I’m pretty sure he would greatly increase the morality and the accountability in the Catholic Church.

    The pope goes by AD&D druid rules. The new pope is the guy who killed the previous pope.

    So it’s J D Vance.

    The pope elections always last long cause every man always votes for himself. Just like the pirate king of brethren court

      I had read that Francis appointed 80% of the Cardinals who pick the new Pope. So it’s possible that the new Pope will have similar views to Francis.

      I’d vote for Elon Musk as Popeking of Catholicism.

      The same way Elon “improved” Twitter and the US Government, I would love it if he did the same for the Catholics.

        Elon can’t be trusted with a literal sovereign nation, but I guess between The Vatican and US… What’s he gonna do with it, harbor predators?

    Yeah Danny sounds good. Or Jack Black would pope the hell out of that Vatican, literally.
