Although, if I were one to wish for the destruction of the RCC, I would definitely want him as the pope. He'd turn the Vatican into an NFT exchange within a month.

But there's no way in hell you can be in the habit of assaulting women and raw-dogging porn stars while on your third wife.

I'm sure he'd like a lot of things he's not going to have. Wouldn't we all? But there are limits, and being free to raid the Vatican bank accounts and other valuables without oversight or restriction is not going to be one of them.

You thought this wasn't about money? He's already trying for Fort Knox.

...he'd have to stay awake in church.

Because he has to read from a book, and isn't allowed to improvise.

And services start in the morning.

Ethel Merman, Marco Polo, and Deputy Dawg. He grows nuttier by the hour. A very small part of me feels it's sad that no one cares about him enough to get him the help he needs. Can you imagine permitting someone you love to make such a pathetic fool of themselves day after day in front of the entire planet? . Even if no one loves him, wouldn't it at least be humane to stuff him in a burlap bag and take him to a cozy rest home?

Yeah, the first pope that has slept with a porn star. I bet the dumbass does not know that Preast can not marry and have to be celibate. What a total ignoramus.
