The Vatican Has Elected A New Pope! However…

…I can’t help but feel that there was a missed opportunity.

He would decree that every day become "Ash Wednesday". Following Popes will be decided by longest ash contest as well.

Another shot at Monte A gone too 😢

It really is nothing to joke about. A great deal of time and effort goes into making this decision.  

Just ask the SD 🐕 😇

Him being his own vicar, his nubs venerated as holy relics, the Book of Smoking Diaries, exclusivo Vaticano ERs…is the world ready for all that?

We could only hope that the Vaticano ER’s would be given out freely to the poor? 😔

I just want to confirm to all that I incidentally changed my profile image prior to this thread being posted. The long hair and beard was courtesy really of our Australian politicians who enacted lockdowns (with some going for months on end) between 2020 and 2022. I don't think I went to a barber for two years! Crazy!

In regards to the resume of a current pope, you really have to admire how multilingual they've been since Pope John Paul II was elected in 1978. Again, that was the last time a pope was Italian. Now they all speak six languages or more. I'd need to brush up on some Spanish, Italian and perhaps Portuguese I'd say! Plus another minor, somewhat irritable point is the fact that I would need to be Catholic.

It’s official. Pope Leo has decried Chicago deep dish style pizza the official pizza of the Vatican. The Swiss Guard have been alerted and are preparing for armed assault on the Holy City.
