Yup , they issued a national injunction enjoining him from appointing Elon to determine if there are too many cardinals.Dear Lord, a Federal judge has just declared Trump does not have the authority to make any Papal decrees despite being elected Pope.
Apparently, they won't even let him ride in the Popemobile either.

I heard democrats want to pack the Cardinals and institute an age limit to the current older conservative ones.Yup , they issued a national injunction enjoining him from appointing Elon to determine if there are too many cardinals.
The last Pope was too liberal. He was as many lived in the nation he came from. And the way of living helped to fuel impoverishment. He elevated a percentage of the Cardinals that think like him. However, there are Cardinals from poorer areas who are on the conservative side. They know what helps to cause impoverishment. A conservative African Pope would be interesting.I don't think they allow blue in the Vatican OP.
So now it's better to take leadership and ideas from poorer countries instead of richer countries?The last Pope was too liberal. He was as many lived in the nation he came from.

The NEW Vatican Dome will keep him securedThey better make sure they have a LOT of lightning rods on the Vatican if Trump is elected Pope.
You think so?I don't think they allow blue in the Vatican OP.
Pope Francesco was indeed conservative on doctrine and dogma. That he was in tune with "Love the sinner; not the sin" probably escaped most peoples' gazes who are indeed NOT RC. What he said was indeed very much the basis of RCs' understanding of Christian Charity.So now it's better to take leadership and ideas from poorer countries instead of richer countries?
You think so?

No worries, Marc. The Pope can grant himself the Privilege for good reasons. lol
Blue is not one of the standard liturgical colors and it may only be used in virtue of a special privilege. By blue vestments we mean those manufactured from cerulean fabric. White vestments with blue motifs or trimmings are not subject to any restriction.
The privilege of using blue vestments in the Latin rite is of two kinds. One kind is that granted to some important Marian shrines. This was the case of Pope Benedict's Mass which was held at Austria's foremost center of devotion to Mary. The decree granting the privilege determines whether these vestments may be used habitually or only on certain major feasts.
The other privilege is that granted to whole countries. For example, all Spanish churches may adopt blue vestments on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, and this favor is sometimes also extended to countries once ruled by the Spanish crown.
Apart from these exceptions blue may not be used as a liturgical color, not even on major Marian feasts.
With respect to the blue stole in Belgium, I am unaware if this country retains the privilege, although it is possible as Flanders was once ruled by Philip II of Spain.
Since blue vestments are uncommon, even when they are permitted, it is possible that a parish has only one set. In this case I would say that it is possible for the deacon to don only white vestments. The situation is analogous to cases where only the principal concelebrant wears vestments of the color of the feast or season, while the others don white stoles and chasubles.
All that we have said refers exclusively to the Latin rite. Blue vestments are quite common on Marian feasts in some Eastern Churches, especially those of the Byzantine tradition.

Yes indeed he was but in the interests of accuracy...lol. Now where did the Vatican ask for Black? I noticed "Dark" suits was in the directive though I have not been able to find the actual Missive.i suspect he was being snarky with that reply.
the vatican asked attendees to wear black. donny wore a blue suit... at least he didn't wear a red tie.
