Is there anything he doesn’t know?

Yes: the Catholic Faith.

Junior chemist Bergoglio learned economics from his beloved Marxist revolutionary boss Esther Ballestrino, and he’ll be the first to admit that. But I also suspect that Senora Esther also recruited him as an asset, with his “vocation to the priesthood” part of the KGB’s larger operation at time to infiltrate and dismantle the Catholic Church from within.

He should quit his day job and become a full time communist organizer. At least that’s where his passion lies.

Guessing the pope lost a big sports bet to a billionaire that knows how to play and now the pope is bitter.

Pope Francis says tax billionaires...

OK, ... Pope First.

Value all Catholic Church Property worldwide, Pope pays 25% of that value on December 25, that's Fair.

Failure to pay by January 1, jail Pope, seize and auction Catholic Church property, Vatican first, until billionaire tax paid, turn Pope over to Catholic Laymen for "counseling".

Had to check to see if this was from the Babylon Bee.

No such luck.

On the Catholic question and answer show Called To Communion, Dr.David Anders was asked: “If a Pope has severe mental decline and through injury, surgery or a form of dementia is not able to think coherently, is there a group at the Vatican that can vote to have him step down?”

“No. There is not.”

So no sports betting but is the betting on the US Presidential election okay?

Billions of dollars are being bet (illegally) day by day.
One reason it’s kept illegal is the big money bettors could have an incentive to tip the election to their side to win.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) called it a “nightmare” scenario that could allow wealthy players to put their “thumb on the scale” in elections.

“Think about that anonymous political power or that anonymous corporate power that says, ‘Not only do we want this candidate to lose or that candidate to win, we’re going to bet on the person that we want to win,’” Merkley said in an interview. “It’s a deeply corrupting combination of dark money and election bets.” In Politico.

> Let’s start with the billions of the Vatican <

The Vatican is not very forthcoming about its wealth. But most estimates say it’s around 4.5 billion euros.

Riches and great wealth for me, but not for thee says the pope.

Who told this Pope he’s supposed to order non-Catholics around?
