    Given the latest reports, the current Pope is either going to make a full recovery or died a week ago. We’ll probably find out in about a week.

      This is how I found out the Pope is in poor health.

      Given how every election seems to out recently, they’re probably going to seek out the vilest, most fascist, hardcore traditionalist they can find who thinks Vatican II was tantamount to a pagan takeover or some shit. Fuuuuck

        … have you read about any previous popes?

        It’s only financial greed/dragon-like hoarding that prevents them from amassing a giant army.

          They’re also allowed to name their successors. If he’s really as concerned with the direction of the church as he has claimed, you’d think he’d ensure who’s gonna be wearing the fancy red shoes in the coming years. But honestly, I think he’s not quite as concerned about that as he’s lead on. He strikes as me as a radical centrist, it just looks progressive compared to so many of the others.
