Somehow... your tag line gif is so appropriate!

Joey Ratz looked like evil incarnate. And the new guy looks like Grandpa. And that's about it.

PR Frank has a much friendlier face.

The pope is ignorant has been a funny defense that has been used. Like: The Pope didn't know who Kim Davis was when he answered questions about her.

Then after it comes out he met her: He meets lots of people he didn't know who she was

Unless they're about climate change, then he's going to change hearts and minds!

Today. Not that it is something new there are a lot of people on this board who see civil rights as pet issues.

Because it's better to worry about the pope's fee fees than my rights.

Them: Guys, we NEED him he's super influential and people listen to him.

Us: But he says horrible things about LGBT and women and contraception.

Them: We don't pay attention to THAT yucky stuff!!

Lol

Or even worse they tell you that it's nbd because it's not JUST the Church doing it:

Someone once said it's one thing to stick your head up your ass, it's quite another to look around and say you like the view.

Well, that's what they do. I wonder how many Catholics who went all gooey over the Pope's visit haven't been to mass in years....

"Y'see, Your Wonderfulness, once upon a time a gang of criminals managed to game the democratic process and seize power in a certain country. Pretty much like your buddies in the Family Research Council and related asshats are trying to do right now in the USA.

Now this gang of criminals really needed international recognition. So a guy named Eugenio Pacelli helped them out. He was the Papal Nuncio to Germany and had the Vatican officially recognize their government, with a document called the Concordat.

And a few years later, Eugenio Pacelli became...Pope Pius XII! And just like Pope Francis today, he was an inspiration to us all. He managed to serve as Pope even though he spent the years between 1933 and 1945 totally blind, deaf and mute."

Just heard he did some cool Jesus stuff a while ago.

Pride goeth before their fall!

Pope Zero™

He's "Buddy Pope"

When I came to read some of the posts in this group last week I thought... "Gosh, some of us disbelievers are pretty damn harsh on this pope. Maybe we should cut him a little slack? He seems to mean well..."

Then, of course, the Wonderpope(tm) showed his true colors this week and I come back here reading all those same pope-related threads thinking...

"Yeah, A&A called it like it was from the get-go. Like usual."
