Holy Smoke! We have a new Pope.

[Mac-7]

The Pope should represent liberals and conservatives. All Catholics.

The last one didnt

 

[martybegan]

I know nothing about this new pope

But a reliable rule of thumb is if libs like him then he’s going to be bad news

Part of why the liked Francis is they misrepresented his views on certain things.

He was a liberation theology guy, but he wasn't the LGBT pro guy they were pasting him as.

Actually the Pope represents the Church, not the people in the Church.

 

[mudwhistle]

I figured that this Pope would be either be a tranny, a black, or an American from Chicago.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

He is looking to build on the reforms of pope Francis.

MAGA will hate him.

Good news, yes, good news.

I’ll take your word for that

But my impression is that he was socially liberal

he was, but he wasn't going to start officiating same sex weddings.

I am not surprised, not after Trump floated the idea of an American Pope.

You really think Trump played a role?

 

[blackhawk]

That’s nice but personally I haven’t seen much difference in them from one to the next.

 

[struth]

You really think Trump played a role?

He threw out his suggestion when asked, it appears they listened

 

[MarathonMike]

Born in Chicago.....just like Obama.

Who's the Anti-Christ?

Another illegal immigrant "advocate". From sanctuary city Chicago, no less. Oh goody.

 

[Blaster]

He represents all Catholics.

 

[martybegan]

He represents all Catholics.

He leads all Catholics, he represents God, or more accurately God's words, found in the bible and interpreted via Catholic Dogma.

Well good thing Trump isn’t Catholic

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I don't mean to be critical but this looks like the coronation of a King from centuries ago. Does any other religion do this?

How many other 2000-year-old religions are there that select a Pope?

Fake News!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I thought it would have been hilarious had they sent up some orange smoke in the meantime.

I thought of blue smoke for a gender reveal. Pink would be hilarious too!

You would. He's got a history of abuse and is a James Martin ass kisser.

As a bishop, placed a pedo priest in a neighborhood right next to a Catholic school. Bad move.



.

Who the f- is James martin, and why should be care? Google says he's a British chef!

Considering he served in Peru, how likely is this true?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I was born in Chicago.

Sounds like a personal problem to me.
