  1. If my reading of the internet is correct, the next Pope will be an atheist female Imam

  2. As long as it isn’t an American pope, because some of those cardinals are pro-Trump 👎👎👎

  3. With how psychopathic conservative Gen Z is, it would not surprise me at all if the next pope is a dick

  4. Doesn’t matter.
    Trump says he’s the best friend religion’s ever had.
    So, un-surprisingly, he is going to declare himself Pope.
    Why else would he have sent J.D.Vance to assassinate him?

  5. The conspiracy theory that Opus Dei is the hand pulling the puppet strings of the Trump admin and plotting to influence a return of conservativism to Europe is looking less and less like a wild Dan Brown novel by the day.

  6. If i remember correctly that’s exactly what Francis said he was afraid about in one of the last interviews he had, that after him they’d try to elect a more conservative pope to step back on a lot of the bold steps forward he took.

    Tho this comes mostly from hearsay, so i might have gotten things wrong, don’t take my word for gold.

  7. It would be kinda weird for the absolute monarch of the Vatican to be pro-democracy

  8. Nah I hope Robert Sarah wins the papacy. I liked Pope Francis but we need a conservative push to balance things out.

  9. All depends on what kind of pope they want. Probably someone who will continue Francis’s work, but maybe someone with a little different approach to things. Someone from the Global South is very likely, though an European could end up becoming pope if they can’t agree on a suitable candidate. Compromise candidacies are a good old Vatican tradition.

  10. I would like to see a charismatic Pope, that preserves the traditional Catholic thinking.

  11. they need a gay he/they flatearther gymbro soyboy nazbol influencer pope (who has a minecraft channel)

  12. Shit then we’re going to get Erdő Péter as a Pope. I’m going to be even more against the church than now. 😭

  13. I unironically expect the new Pope to have a pretty hard conservative slant.

  14. I think they are keeping up with the times.

    Apparently we’re going Hewey Lewis in next decade. It’s hip to be square

  15. So… the return of the Borgias?

    If they do this… expect anti-Popes as well.

  16. The media still thinks the papacy is like how it was in the 14th century. The media needs to keep up with the times.

  17. they should do a young pope, but not like the show where he was still old just younger than the usual ancients, like a really young pope, get 19yo in there, get started on building a church with some legs that can be loud and formidable

  18. A huge number of MAGA GOPers are Catholic, including, if I’m not mistaken, all of Trump’s SCOTUS appointees, though one converted to Protestantism later in life. Kind of odd to see a group which 50 years ago was still looked at askance in American politics now being the dominant – and extremist – voice.

  19. Pope of the rich. That megachurch devil looking priest would even look more ghastly and salivating at the thought of this.

  20. You know the only answer is to marry the titles of Caesar and Pontifex maximus into God-Emperor and let the orange boy have at it.

  21. I hope the next pope is black. Not that I really care, I just like salt.

  22. Most the the current cardinals were elected by Francis, the likelihood they chose someone who will continue his work is high

  23. 🎶 Sarah oh Sarah

  24. Yeah bacause american catholics are the only ones pope should cater to. Holy shit can yanks make something NOT about them? 
    There is over a billion catholics, and americans are a tiny fraction of them.
