Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Currently sixth favourite only, so barring some big upset, not likely to win.

Perhaps he will rise higher after HitlerPig threatens their tax-exempt status.

I doubt that the Catholic Church is big enough in the US for them to have that much of an influence on who the next pope is. There hasn't ever been a pope from the US.

Boom! There's the hook. The Catholic church is HUGE in America, the fourth highest Catholic population in the world, behind Brazil, Mexico, and Phillipines, and ahead of countries like Italy, Spain, France and Argentina, all of whom have contributed Popes.

Expect the MAGA Nazis to demand that the next Pope be an American of their choice, with all sorts of threats to follow, including removing their tax-exempt status.

Good one, this needs to be much higher.

I was going to post that HitlerPig will be pushing his own choice for Pope, and here we are. Now I'm wondering if Couchfucker slipped something into the Pope's tea.

Someone else in his entourage did something nefarious.
