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

        Well, during WW2 the Catholic church collaborated with them.

          Yeah my first thought was, I wonder if a historian can tell us how many Popes throughout history have been objectively worse than Trump for society (so far).

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

    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.

    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.

    Hear me out here - what if we tell Trump he “won ‘pope’”, and he should come to Vatican City to collect his prize. Say it’s a beautiful prize or some bs. Then when he comes to collect, the Swiss Guard can arrest him for wearing a blue suit to the funeral or something, and lock him in the catacombs under the city to add him to the church’s collection of curiosities.

    Would be a solution, if he would moved to the Vatican to become head of the paedophile cult.

    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.

    To be fair, it would be in line with the practiced values of the Catholic Church throughout history.

    They were pro-Nazi until the Nazis were gone. Then ohmygawdwemadeamistaaaake
