Isn’t it weird that I’ve seen illusionists like Derren Brown make huge audiences all think of the same thing simultaneously, but an omnipotent being can’t pop the same name into the heads of 100-odd of the people who are apparently closest to him and interpret his will on a daily basis?

There really is a new Popey chap, apparently (identity as yet unknown ). I don’t think it’s Snoop Dog. But it could be.

An American...

Cardinal Roberto Prevost.

Leo XIV

Apparently, the new guy is “deeply committed to synodality”.

Me neither.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Means collective decision making. Probably a good thing, but may play to conservative elements.

He's an Augustinian as well.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

He's appeared.

A sleek prelate...

I never even got an interview. Bastards.

Wasn't there a candidate called Kevin?
Missed out on Pope Kev.

The usual MAGA idiots have already started to describe the new Pope as a 'Marxist' and 'Woke'. These so called Christians don't seem to realise that caring about the poor and the sick has traditional been part of the Christian teachings.
