I didn’t think he would really do it.
Same as Liz Truss killing the queen. Sometimes, when you’re old and in poor health, you just experience something that makes you think “fuck it, I don’t need to put up with this shit anymore.”
Lol … this is it
When you’re at the end of your life and hanging on the edge looking for a glimmer of hope … then you get visited by an absolute tool that is only motivated by greed and power and represents a general apathy for any kind of humanity …
you just think to yourself, “yeah, nah, this isn’t worth it any more”
Especially if you genuinely believe in an afterlife. At some point, you think, “Why am I tolerating this tool? I got MUCH better places to be.”
Just want to point out this is what furniture in the Vatican looked like before Pope Francis
And then after Pope Francis
Yeah, as far as popes go he was pretty chill
Still needed a way to finance a billion dollar corporation with tens of thousands of prime real estate all over the world managed by a legion of professional clergy all managed by a central office that is it’s own country at the center of one of the most expensive cities in the world … all while spreading the message of piety, peace and being humble.
As much as everyone likes to glorify catholic leaders, they’re still a mafia force that is based on money and wealth and Christian faith last
If anyone really cares, that’s because Pope Francis was from the Jesuit Order. The first pope to be one. They swear poverty among other things, so the golden chair wouldn’t look appropriate.
Also South American Catholics are a bit more hardcore about the poverty and activism stuff. I don’t think Francis was necessarily full on “liberation theology,” but I can’t imagine probably knowing priests who got “free helicopter rides” for standing up for poor and indigenous people probably does impact how you think.
dude even refused to live in the Pope’s residence and stays at the 3 star hotel (not really a hotel but described that way) that’s for the visiting clergy (kept deliberately simple to dissuade visitors from wanting to stay too long). the guy’s humility is inspiring even if I don’t like his org.
I hope they sold the old chair and used the money for the poor, but they probably just tucked it in the attic
I wonder what the next Pope’s chair will look like
Iron Throne
Both chairs are still in the Vatican. It’s like when people talked about Bezos driving his old car.
He had his eye on a really nice couch in the lobby.
The pope asked the Trump administration to be kind to immigrants and the poor. Can’t have talk like that from the church.
Doesn’t the Pope know that empathy is a sin?
The devil is tempting me to be kind and have compassion for others.
Don’t tempt me, bro.
Lol church money flowing to the poor and needy? How would the poor get into heaven without a life of suffering? (Mother Theresa’s view on charity, not mine).
Careful now, Martin Luther!
The Pope refused to join his Signal group.
He joined the wrong signal group. Vance only realized when the pope asked “what’s up with all the couch pics?”
The Pope showed him his latest meme
UV unwrap
Vance killed him because the Pope didn’t own a suit
JD didn’t do it on purpose. The most reasonable answer is the Pope accidentally walked on JD in a tender moment with a loveseat. The Pontiff laughed himself to death.
JD Vance had FOXDIE
Death by cringe
Pope met the antichrist and said I’m outta here.
Same reason Liz Truss killed the Queen
Vance is too stupid to kill him, he’d fuck it up for sure. Did you see him drop Ohio State’s trophy the other day? The guy is a total fuck up. He’d end up putting the Iocaine Powder in his own tea.
Nah, it was someone in his entourage that did it.
Did you see him drop Ohio State’s trophy the other day?
Maybe he dropped the Pope?
I love how this is thread is basically lemmyshitpost lmao
To get a right wing replacement, duh.
Eek! Use a spoiler tag, you scared the Bejesus out of me with that thing.
The pope didn’t thank him
