Good movie, but I thought the big “reveal” at the end was somewhat ham-fisted and just a bit too “Hollywood”. They elected a “magical” Cardinal created in a writer’s room as opposed to modeled on any real cardinals.Considering what is about to happen if you have access I recommend the movie, Conclave
I think the Pope met JD Vance and, quite reasonably, decided he didn't want to live on the same planet with that shitbag anymore.
The Pope met with Vance so he could satisfy his curiosity about what the Devil Incarnate looked like face to face.
This just published piece by Robert Reich eulogizes Pope Francis. It's a short read, worth it:Coincidence? I dunno...
Pope Francis, first Latin American pontiff who ministered with a charming, humble style, dies at 88
Pope Francis was history’s first Latin American pontiff who charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor but alienated conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change.apnews.com
I'm not a Catholic, although I was raised around the church...lots of friends who were. Francis seemed to be the most progressive pope in my lifetime.
R.I.P.
Maybe but really he was ancient and had almost died just a couple weeks ago. Him dying is not exactly shocking.Or, he got "novichok'd".

Too much like The West Wing?Good movie, but I thought the big “reveal” at the end was somewhat ham-fisted and just a bit too “Hollywood”. They elected a “magical” Cardinal created in a writer’s room as opposed to modeled on any real cardinals.
I saw what you did, CandymanI can't see any good reason why Donald Trump can't be pope. I suppose if the entire world cheers and says his name 3 times in a row he will become pope by virtue of all of our adoration. He has the time, and he is the right man for the job.
He probably learned how contact poisons work from Putin….….Vance ended up meeting the Pope for two minutes. He was one of the last outsiders to see the Pope.
He might be surprised at how many people look forward to attending his funeral.Orange Julious makes it sound like he's going to a pancake brunch social and not an f'n funeral:

Sounds like a continuation of the Western / Eastern split from the Roman days. Short history dive....The devil went down to the Vatican looking for a soul to steal.

Didn't they fly flags at half mast for Pope John Paul II?Trump ordered flags to half staff on federal buildings out of respect for the pope. There was a time when we would have seen full blown riots over this order.
Yet…remember his furor at the flags being at half staff for Jimmy Carter when it was his inauguration?Trump ordered flags to half staff on federal buildings out of respect for the pope. There was a time when we would have seen full blown riots over this order.
