Yeah, they threatened to kill the pope if he didn’t actively support Trump…
This will be an interesting development to watch. I live in a Catholic MAGA city. Something tells me they’ll side with Trump. The way they trashed the last woke Pope was funny AF. Watching these idiots twist and contort themselves into a Gordian Knot is never not entertaining.
What’s cooler than an American pope? Two American popes.
Just slingin’ excommunications back and forth, calling each other anti-Pope, finally reconciled through their mutual love of burning witches…. Welcome to the new Dark Ages.
They can’t really communicate much publicly, even calling each other on the phone all the time would raise suspicions in their own church, increasing the odds that they get deposed. They are both relatively tech savvy, but not savvy enough to encrypt their communications without help, so they agree to communicate in code on a public Catholic RP website.
Roleplaying as two cardinals meeting at a conclave in Rome, they discuss matters of the day and how the church (they both RP as Roman Catholics, but the Western Pope plays a cardinal sympathetic to the Western Church) should should react to it.
The season 1 finale ends with a shot of a comment on one of their posts:
This lady thinks you guys are the popes. https://www.jezebel.com/post/am-i-crazy-or-are-these-guys-the-popes/I would very much watch this!
“The Chicago Papacy”, a prestige TV drama, imagines the present-day United States Catholic Church schisms from Rome and names the Archbishop of Chicago “The One True Pope”. This happens during the tenure of Chicago-native Pope Leo XIV in Rome, and he and the Archbishop of Chicago go way back, and they have to work together to stop a fully-christofascist USA from launching a holy war across the globe.
“Chicago Pope”, surely
The Roman Pope loves Chicago-style pizza but can’t get any, while the Chicago Pope secretly prefers italian margherita pizza but can never let anyone know. It might actually get him deposed if it gets out.
Their is an old joke from Ireland, during The Troubles.
A man drives up to a checkpoint and the guard in the balaclava and holding an FAL asks: are you a Catholic or a Protestant? (this would reveal your allegiance to the Republicans or the Loyalists).
The man answers: I’m and atheist.
The rifleman responds: Yes, yes, but are you a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist?
This is funny to the heretic because we’re still culturally attached to our sect. I read the book; I sat in the pews; I sang the songs. I’m a Protestant atheist and that Catholic shit will always be foreign and weird.
Same, but in reverse 🤝
What else could be expected from the American antichrists?
WHY would Threatening the Pope effect the Free Thinking MAGAS who want the Bible to be Law?
Not the Catholic interpretation of the Bible. They want the Evangelical version to be the law.
