I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and vote for you.
Cue Musk with his lottery for votes.
I'd vote for Elon Musk as Popeking of Catholicism.
The same way Elon "improved" Twitter and the US Government, I would love it if he did the same for the Catholics.
Elon can't be trusted with a literal sovereign nation, but I guess between The Vatican and US... What's he gonna do with it, harbor predators?
Probably purchase nukes and then become another North Korea.
Trump! Make Trump the new Pope. That would be hilarious!
Do you think that is why JD Nonce was in the Vatican? To force the Pope into announcing Trump as his successor?
I heard he was there to kill him. Hence his death shortly after.
All the pope had to do to live was say thank you, but he didn't.
That'll prove that the pope does shit in the woods.
Adam Savage
Bill Burr
Leaning towards Cardinal Pietro Parolin - Cardinal secretary of state.
I'm thinkin' Father Guido Sarducci will come outta nowhere and sprint to the win.
Screw it, I'll be the pope if that means I can release the records on their pedo priest protection program.
Robert Smith of the Cure.
that'd be badass.
+1
Well he did defeat Mecha Streisand.
Joe Biden
Pope Malarky
Resurrected harambe
"You're the pope?? I didn't vote for you..."
- Benjamin Franklin, probably. Or whoever it was that said "Not everything quoted on the internet is real"
Honestly I don't care (well, beyond making this ~~pope~~ post), as I am not catholic. I am technically a protestant by heritage, but the truth is that I find even the term "agnostic" to be too religiously loaded to the point where I usually refer to myself as areligious instead.
As for the pope. Well, he's... there.. well, not right now. But he will be soon-ish. I'll just accept whoevers named announced while venting smoke from the cardinal thunderdome as being the new pope. And then he'll be there again.
Beyond that, he doesn't affect my life in any way. Nor do I affect his life in any way. Unless he accepts my challenge to an offroad and uphill car race. Yes, he's gonna have to drive the popemobile himself for this. I'll be driving my new AWD Lolvo. I'm sure it'll be fun for anyone involved, no matter who wins.
But having said all of that: I think Robbie Coltrane would do well as a pope.
Lucien Greaves
I am nominating myself, being as I am a Discordian Pope.
420 Blaze It
Idris Elba
Roman, probably. Maybe Kendall.
Justin Trudeau
I think Bill Maher should put his name in the hat. I know he's atheist, but he got on his knees for Trump, so maybe he's willing to give Jesus a fresh look.
