    It would forever change the sarcastic question “Is the Pope Catholic?”

        People have already forgotten that Benedict XVI was literally a member of the Hitler Youth and a soldier in the German military.

          Neither of which was his choice.

          His ultraconservative, authoritarian opinions after that are his own fault, though, as is his protection of pedophile priests.

          Just a tiny little dot on the otherwise blemish free history of the Catholic Church.

    The US president said he had “no preference” but suggested an American cardinal, who comes from New York, would be good for the role.

    Having managed to greatly influence the Canadian leadership contest last month, the controversial President now weighs in on the Vatican’s process.

    Everyone challenge him. Tell him he can’t do it. He is such a narcissist that it will consume him and he will leave the USA alone while he tries to become Pope.

    He’s clearly never read the Bible, but somebody told him how much Nazi gold there is for paying pedophile lawsuits so he’s on board.

      “Why does the smoke have to be white? Why can’t it be gold? I want gold smoke, the best smoke. You know, the people will love it, they’ve all told me. ‘Donald, when you’re pope, make sure the smoke is gold. It’ll class up the place.’ We’re really gonna clean up the Vatican, and catholicism as a whole, I think. Me and God, we’re really very close, nobody’s closer, in fact. I think some people maybe said Jesus, but I don’t know about that. Who let’s their son be crucified? You know I asked God once, why would you let your son be crucified if you love him that much? And the whole devil thing? Me and Lucifer, we’re gonna get that sorted out. 24 hours, boom, no more hell, everybody goes to heaven. You make me pope, 100% raptured. 100%, that’s a not a promise, it’s a guarantee. They’ll all say, ‘Donny, you were the best pope ever.’ and they’ll be right.”

        Trump almost never refers to himself as Donald or Donny.

        His “sir” stories are legendary.

      being the worst US president was too easy. Most of them were kinda decent people overall. Being the worst pope ever though… I guess he likes the challenge
