I'm going with Danny Devito! That fuck would straighten out the church. He got good morals. He just a nice guy. What about you?

Deadmau5.

The tapes of some of these Catholic hymns are getting kinda worn- let's get some fresh beats to liven things up. And a laser lightshow in St Peter's Basilica would help appeal to the "hip youths" ensuring a continued Catholic hegemony for the next century.

Leaning towards Cardinal Pietro Parolin - Cardinal secretary of state.

I thought the crowd favorite would've been Luigi, though I have no idea what the requirements are for being elected Pope.

[–] Agosagror@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Be male Be a roman catholic Get enough cardinals to vote for you

[–] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

For each of these requirements there's at least one Pope who didn't meet them.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 16 points 22 hours ago

So you're saying Luigi has a chance?

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago

I'd vote for him

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Dang I might have to change my vote

[–] missingno@fedia.io 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think we should reelect Francis.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 8 hours ago

No no no. You aren't allowed to elect dead popes, just prosecute them.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

We just gotta set up one of those WH40K Golden thrones for him!

Guarantee they have something that's already halfway there tucked in a warehouse.

[–] ERROR_100_000_100@infosec.pub 16 points 1 day ago

I hereby crown/appoint Rowan Atkinson as Pope Johnny.

May his Beanliness 🫘 last forever.

I'm thinkin' Father Guido Sarducci will come outta nowhere and sprint to the win.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Satan. I'm pretty sure he would greatly increase the morality and the accountability in the Catholic Church.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If nothing else he would send all the pedo preists to hell.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Accountability.

Yeah Danny sounds good. Or Jack Black would pope the hell out of that Vatican, literally.

[–] sobanto@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago

I see what you did there.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 16 points 1 day ago

The pope goes by AD&D druid rules. The new pope is the guy who killed the previous pope.

So it's J D Vance.

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Last one was on the liberal side. Expect a hardcore, gay hating conservative this time.

[–] CaptainPedantic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I had read that Francis appointed 80% of the Cardinals who pick the new Pope. So it's possible that the new Pope will have similar views to Francis.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I'm votin' fer yours truly. I'd make a kick-ass pope. 😤

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and vote for you.

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 13 points 1 day ago

The pope elections always last long cause every man always votes for himself. Just like the pirate king of brethren court

Trump! Make Trump the new Pope. That would be hilarious!

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you think that is why JD Nonce was in the Vatican? To force the Pope into announcing Trump as his successor?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I heard he was there to kill him. Hence his death shortly after.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

All the pope had to do to live was say thank you, but he didn't.

Cue Musk with his lottery for votes.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'd vote for Elon Musk as Popeking of Catholicism.

The same way Elon "improved" Twitter and the US Government, I would love it if he did the same for the Catholics.

Well he did defeat Mecha Streisand.

Screw it, I'll be the pope if that means I can release the records on their pedo priest protection program.
