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

For each of these requirements there's at least one Pope who didn't meet them.

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

If nothing else he would send all the pedo preists to hell.

We just gotta set up one of those WH40K Golden thrones for him!

Guarantee they have something that's already halfway there tucked in a warehouse.

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.

Last one was on the liberal side. Expect a hardcore, gay hating conservative this time.

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?

Do you think that is why JD Nonce was in the Vatican? To force the Pope into announcing Trump as his successor?

I heard he was there to kill him. Hence his death shortly after.

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

I don't know much about him, but he's always seemed super cool. I'm down with a cool pope.

He didn't get to be Spider-Man when it was age-appropriate and people were buzzing about the idea. I feel like Pope is a good consolation prize.

"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 vote for whomever Francis had on mind (hopefully he discussed that before passing).

There's little chance of getting someone as decent as him.

Yes he had one candidate, if I understand correctly: Luis Antonio Tagle. He has a vision of a church adjacent to the poor and the working population in general though he seems regressive on LGBTQ. But going by the sign of times, it'll probably be Raymond Burke. I suppose Vance visited the Vatikan to pave his way.

Personally I concur Danny DeVito would totally be the man for the job. He would gonna get real weird with it and he certainly doesn't diddle kids.

The guy who's already two thirds pope. Popeye of course! Popeye for Popey!

Deadmau5.

The tapes of some of these Catholic hymns are getting kinda worn- let's get some fresh beats to liven things up. And a laser lightshow in St Peter's Basilica would help appeal to the "hip youths" ensuring a continued Catholic hegemony for the next century.

There's been some great ideas here, but I like yours the best.

Bill Burr complaining about being forced to be the pope would be amazing.

Bernie Sanders. Christianity spun out of a Jewish apocalyptic sect, so why not, in some very small part, bring it back toward its roots?

I think Bill Maher should put his name in the hat. I know he's atheist, but he got on his knees for Trump, so maybe he's willing to give Jesus a fresh look.

Fuck off with that Danny devito crap. No one but Americans like that dude, and you've seen how utterly brain-dead America is.

Damn I've never seen a Danny Devito hater. Welp I hope one day you are able to experience the joy of his Holiness Danny Devito the Pope.

Love it that you dumb down other people's arguments to your level, and simplistically call anyone's stance "lover/hater" because your brain can't fucking comprehend anything beyond black and white.

Sure proved you're American though.

My apologies for reducing your opinion to "hater". May I inquire into the reason you have such strong feelings for Mr Devito? It appears it may be related to his being American. Would it effect your opinion of him if I told you he isn't actually American? He was born in New Jersey, which to many isn't really part of America, more of an unwanted growth of New York.

I know I have offended you and for that I apologize. However, I will not leave your person attacks unanswered. I will have you know my ocular spheres transmit to my brain a far larger number of colors. I would safetly estimate I can comprehend as near as 3 colors! Maybe more!
