The pontiff gives the stinkeye to a flower arrangment

My first instinct was to do a caricature, but that felt mean spirited. I’ve had a lovely long weekend (I took today, on a whim) and I’m feeling charitable. Even to Pope Commie.

I wonder if they’ll elect a Catholic this time?

Naturally, someone had him in the Dead Pool (step forward, Tonyc), but we won’t worry about that until Friday,

Not going to waste too much time on it but…

Pope Francis’s final testament has tonight been revealed, following his death by a stroke and heart failure at the age of 88.

Smart money says his “stink eye” is actually aimed at a crucifix or a rosary, both of which were anathema to the anti-pope Bergoglio.
The real question is whether he has installed enough corrupt cardinals to skew the next selection to another POS.

The Catholic Church has survived for millennia because it has an important truth and message which resonates with humanity. However, to steal a sports analogy it is possible to remain a fan of the team even after a string of bad managers.

I’d like to see Kollege of Kardinal Klowns re-frock Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò and give him the Pope Hat. I’d also like to see Klaus Schwab dance the tarantella till he drops dead. In other words, I’ll not be holding my breath!

Congratulations to Tonyc! Well picked!

@Anon 9:48 — Technically, make that ‘millennium’ – singular. Before the Great Schism in 1054, what became the Catholic Church had become a subset of what is now known as the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church as a stronger claim to apostolic continuity back to the time of our Lord Jesus Christ. There’s much good to be said about the RC Church, to be sure, but ultimately they were the splitters.

Thanks Unc! This pick aligns with my one guiding principle in the pool, only pick people I will not miss.

They’re going to find a German Transgender priest whose life has been about being a woman priest trapped in a male priest’s body.
Like Admiral Rachel Levine.
Next year she’ll be nominated for Woman of the Year.
Perhaps an Obama level Nobel Peace prize.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
