The Pope is fixin' to die

[null and void]

This means the Cardinals will soon have to select a new Pope.

I think this time they will try to remain relevant, and do something new, exciting and culturally cutting edge.

They are going to select a woman to be Pope.

Suppose I'm right. Suppose this female Pope has a sibling.

Suppose this sibling has a child.

What would that child call the new Pope?...

[grumpygresh]

It looks like he missed his chance to be the False Prophet.

[tflabo]

The Pope of Greenwich Village 1984

[Tommy Revolts]

What about a Homo or Transgender?

[murron]

I thought he has died?

[Sicon]

"They are going to select a woman to be Pope."

Nah, they'll go one better and select a man pretending to be a woman.

[KarlInOhio]

Donald Trump will be voted Pope.

And Cardinal Musk will be his Grand Inquisitor.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Now, that would be really something to see.

[politicket]

They want the Royal Crown to go to someone else.

Well played.

[politicket]

Truth can be stranger than fiction.

[Campion]

Yet Catholics continued to worship him as their leader like in a cult.

I know a lot of Catholics. I don't know a single one who worships the Pope. Not one. That goes for this Pope or any other.

As far as the current incumbent is concerned ... my own parish church has a modest-sized portrait of the Pope. It hangs in a stairwell. Sound like "worship" to you? I thought not.

[ealgeone]

I know there's a small (?) sect of folks who call themselves Roman catholic just hoping for their legally and duly elected pope to be out of office.

The daily vitriol against him is astounding. It's something the Reformers could only dream of.

IF this were back in the day there'd be a lot of RCs (?) up on charges.

You know it's true.

[Disambiguator]

Black, female, lesbian. It’s the intersectional trifecta!

[tennmountainman]

Satan awaits Frankie’s Arrival.

[Palio di Siena]

It took me a minute…..

[allwrong57]

I am a Catholic and I’d be good with Cardinal Sarah as Pope. Most of the African priests are very orthodox.

[dznutz]

You teed it up for me nicely.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Using “sibling” when you can use “child” is ridiculous.

[shaggy eel]

,,, let’s pope everything turns out well.

[Repeal The 17th]

“...Using “sibling” when you can use “child” is ridiculous...”
-
Well, then the joke would not work.
In that case, the she-pope would not be an Aunt.
And therefore not the “auntie-pope”.
