Kopper: (edgy but FUNNIEST JOKE) Pope Francis: /see JD Vance
/dies
Me too, Pope, me too.
She... she wasn't supposed to share that, but here we are.
I hope this triggers Vance's Millennial Shame
oh no, the leader of the religion he converted to died right after speaking to him?
he didn't even address the Pope properly!
Ewwwwwwww He wasn't even Catholic as a kid? That explains a bit
2019 lkdsjas;ldkjasds;lkj fucking infiltrator
yep. he's a Catholic fanboy who addressed the Pope as Father
even i know he's much higher than father and I left the church
shame he didn't try to correct by that logic and say "grandfather"
that would have been hilarious
but no Pope Frances was a good man, very progressive and kind
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
That would have been funny lmfao
A very weird resume he has
/wonders how to fit it in the kid's movie
Ewww, didn't realize he was a convert. That does explain a lot.
Like I have plenty of friends that are converts (holy fuck CC that sounds racist) I MEAN IN A GOOD COOL AWESOME WAY
But it's like all cultural adoptions
You have to know you are an outsider being accepted into the tribe; you do not get to LARP and pretend you speak for ANYONE ELSE especially not those you don't even know the traditions and culture and MORALS of yet what. the. fuck.
he just wants to cosplay the Trad White Man Life

I fucking know but he sucks at it. And more correctly
Most people that I know who are converts are good people, but they tend to be a little over zealous. Like they have to go to every single holy day mass.
Like they're trying to make up for not growing up in the church. But on a rare occasion you get a convert like Vance, who tries to boss you around and tell you how to be Catholic.
Peter Thiel and co. want him to cosplay Trad White Man Life so that 1) Putin can spy on Trump (weird) 2] steal cult members into their cult from the original cult TM (Catholic church & evangelicals and televangelists are generally already in the cult but also help reinforce) 3] not get fucking hate-crimed for being a super super FLAMING trans woman
Yea. Same though like -- yare yare. My grandparents are super "EVERY DAY POSSIBLE" but they like the community aspect that I am just "NOOOOOOOOOOO /runs away"
my friend's mom is also a convert and she was like that too.
I mean one of our family BFFs is a convert and he's a LOT more low-key than my Mom but I think it's just
he also knows too many of the LARPer STRICT types and does not want to be ANYTHING like them

Which is very cool of him etc.
I only met one ridiculously strict convert. Context: my style is goth and I do wear it to church, though I do tone things down. This lady singled me out at church and tried to tell me that the church has a dress code and I need to abide by it.
found out later she was a convert who was visiting, trying to decide which church she wanted to go to in the area.
Sorry to break it to her but goths are the ultimate Catholics
Also if I go back to teaching CCD / church often and etc. not only will I always ALWAYS be in pants, but maybe jeans, and very definitely leather choker collar and certain Satan pendants \:|/
God literally gave me GIANT BOOBS and cystic fibrosis in case I needed to go to the desert to lure Satan out to talk to me for indefinite years etc.

LUCKILY NO THAT IS NOT A THING I HAVE TO DO BUT
((it makes me like a CAMEL of being able to go a long fucking time with little etc.))
TLDR Gatekeeping is important

saving this for posterity. I will have this when im 80, and will show friends
OH YEAH I was saving this for a depression episode and when shit chills (it never chills)
BUT Watch the True Facts About the Camel and I will talk about it in DMs
We have an archbishop from my country (Luis Antonio Tagle) who is a very likely frontrunner. He was at the 2013 conclave with Francis, so I won’t be surprised if he is in there too.
oh nice I heard he's a Good
Ooo I heard about him too. He would be a good choice, in my opinion.
Yep, he is a good viable choice: some of the other candidates especially from the US and Europe, are way too aka far behind the times for the Catholic Church’s future.
Yeah, I would hate to see what little progress that has been made to be rolled back now.
I always go crazy when I see the way the news covers new Popes. Too much like they're an American president

That's not it at all. And "the debt" of the church is much like the "debt" the Americans: meaningless talking point by Republicans to fucking confuse dumdums
