Let’s do Pope odds

I think it’ll be the Filipino guy.

Asia is the only major continent that never had a pope. And he’s youngish (67). He’s also seen as similar to Francis and Francis picked over half the current voting cardinals.

Probably too much racism among all those old cardinals to elect an African and I suspect many cardinals are loathe to give it back to an Italian.

Of course I know jack shit about any of this but when has that stopped us from posting before?

My prediction is MAGA supporting Archbishop Vincent 'Vinny' deFranco, who is currently serving 5-10 for grand larceny and selling Papal NFT's from his waterfront Cathedral on the Jersey Shore.

Pizzaballa. You read it here first.

With a name like that, would he be named Papa John?

I wonder how many rounds of voting it will take. I want the Filipino to be Pope.

[Nunatax]

Obviously, Trump will be the next pope. The voting cardinals don’t know it yet, but they’ll vote for Trump.

[jon-nyc]

And if not than it’s obviously rigged.

Who would Trump nominate to be pope? Mike Lindell, maybe?

Paula White. Pope Karen I.

Not to make too much of a point on this, but I seem to be TNCR's "official Catholic" these days and FWIW I don't give a freakin' hoot the next Pope is. And I think I'm speaking for 95% of the Catholics out there. We don't care.

Just saying. But, certainty enjoy yourselves and have fun.

I love Pope Francis’ emphasis of humility and hope that continues with the next.

If you include lapsed Catholics that number is probably closer to 99%.

Conference of Bishops replies:

There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.

[Renauda]

Good for the Bishops. It is one thing when the rabble posts questionable memes, quite another and highly inappropriate when such come from Trumpigula himself.

That man is such an ass.

He’s an insult to all equines.
