He'll take credit for the new Pope's election. jls4561 May 2025 #4

Here's another thought. What if the new pope is black? Or Asian? jls4561 May 2025 #5

Yesterday it was pre-empted for Cardinals taking their oaths. But not for Donnie's latest big deal.

Lots of ketchup being thrown at walls.

…if it’s a conservative, he’ll be very happy, as it means another decade or so of appointing right-wing authoritarian bishops and priests here, just as was done for thirty-odd years under JP2 and B16, which was instrumental in the massive rightward political shift of Roman Catholic voters over that time.
