Pope Watch 2025

[Valmy]

Habemus Papam!

[Zanza]

I predict a conservative old white man.

[Josquius]

With glasses or without?
It could be anyone

[Valmy]

I predict a conservative old white man.

So long as it isn't a fascist one.

[Zanza]

Robert Prevost from the USA

[Valmy]

An American Pope? Leo XIV

Um...who is this guy? Robert Prevost?

[Valmy]

He is a Peruvian Citizen. It seems that he was Francis' choice to succeed him. That sounds reassuring.

But from Chicago.

[Josquius]

So... New guy is big on child abuse but otherwise ok?

[Duque de Bragança]

I predict a conservative old white man.

I would have preferred an ultra-conservative black man for the identity politics people, such as Robert Sarah, cardinal of Conakry. 

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

There goes any chance of getting deep dish "pizza" declared blasphemy...

[Valmy]

So... New guy is big on child abuse but otherwise ok?

No idea. I freaked out a bit when I heard he was American, considering how psychotic our Catholics are these days, but it seems he has been in Peru and then in the Vatican for years. And a protege of the last guy.

No idea. I freaked out a bit when I heard he was American, considering how crypto-protestant our Catholics are these days, but it seems he has been in Peru and then in the Vatican for years. And a protege of the last guy.

Fixed! 

I see he is from the order of Saint Augustine, as Martin Luther, so the Brain will be happy. 

[Jacob]

I'm anti-catholic?

I don't think so, but you're a more likely candidate than an actual cardinal... I think

[Legbiter]

I see he is from the order of Saint Augustine, as Martin Luther, so the Brain will be happy. 

 

An interesting choice. He's a safe pair of hands, handpicked by his predecessor.

Pizza casserole, Italian beef, high taxes, aging infrastructure, and rampant corruption for all!
