I didn't think he would really do it.

The Pope cried out “take me JC!”

Unfortunately his right hand man is a bit hard of hearing, and let JD into the room…

[–] Ilixtze@lemm.ee 10 points 7 hours ago

Vance saw this sexy ass chair And he just had to fuck it. I had to get down and dirty with that fancy seat. The pope tried to get in his way.

Vance is too stupid to kill him, he'd fuck it up for sure. Did you see him drop Ohio State's trophy the other day? The guy is a total fuck up. He'd end up putting the Iocaine Powder in his own tea.

Nah, it was someone in his entourage that did it.

Maybe he dropped the Pope?

The flu of America*

Tap for spoiler*Formerly known as influenza or Spanish Flu.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

He's both a subordinate of the Anti-Christ and Russian asset. He was called upon to kill the pope to initiate the Pope election process that they can manipulate in order to get a more "pro-apocalypse" Pope in place.

[–] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 hours ago

The pope told JD that no one in the tRump regime, or any other self-proclaimed christian in the USA was anything near being a christian. Per Matthew 25:40-45

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

JD got over excited by how the pontiff choose to couch his words.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 31 points 12 hours ago

JD Vance just existed

The pope died of cringe from experiencing Vance's presence.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

I THOUGHT this was FAKE NEWS but I'm seeing it All Over Facebook so it MUST be True that JD Vance KILLED the Pope!

-Republicans who Do Their Own Research and STILL Love Trump!

[–] Hikuro93@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Sure didn't see this one coming, ironically. Before the pope had passed away I commented this on another post.

Bet the poor Pope couldn't even attend because in addition to his health issues he must have felt the evil pressure oozing from Vance.

Welp, poor Francis. He was a good one, and difficult to replace especially in these uncertain times.

The silver lining is that he really made his last big act in life to admonish Vance, and by extension the Trump admin, about their wrongdoing. He has my gratitude for that.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

I don't know, but he better have said thanks

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Fancy papal couches that were unfuckable.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Well the Pope ghosted JD, so JD obviously ghosted the Pope.

[–] Feelfold@lemm.ee 42 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

JD didn't do it on purpose. The most reasonable answer is the Pope accidentally walked on JD in a tender moment with a loveseat. The Pontiff laughed himself to death.

I don't think it was on purpose the Pope was just too frail to be in the same room as that much cringe. Frankly it was irresponsible of them to allow Vance anywhere near him.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 12 hours ago

I usually don't subscribe to victim blaming, but this one is ok.

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 155 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Same as Liz Truss killing the queen. Sometimes, when you're old and in poor health, you just experience something that makes you think "fuck it, I don't need to put up with this shit anymore."

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 65 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Lol .... this is it

When you're at the end of your life and hanging on the edge looking for a glimmer of hope .... then you get visited by an absolute tool that is only motivated by greed and power and represents a general apathy for any kind of humanity ...

you just think to yourself, "yeah, nah, this isn't worth it any more"

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 9 points 9 hours ago

Especially if you genuinely believe in an afterlife. At some point, you think, "Why am I tolerating this tool? I got MUCH better places to be."

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 13 points 12 hours ago

Because Biden is catholic

[–] NorthernDreams@lemmy.world 123 points 18 hours ago (8 children)

Just want to point out this is what furniture in the Vatican looked like before Pope Francis

And then after Pope Francis

[–] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Damn, dude really wrecked the Vatican's economy!

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

If anyone really cares, that's because Pope Francis was from the Jesuit Order. The first pope to be one. They swear poverty among other things, so the golden chair wouldn't look appropriate.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Also South American Catholics are a bit more hardcore about the poverty and activism stuff. I don’t think Francis was necessarily full on “liberation theology,” but I can’t imagine probably knowing priests who got “free helicopter rides” for standing up for poor and indigenous people probably does impact how you think.

[–] Earflap@reddthat.com 3 points 10 hours ago

Don't worry though they kept it in good shape in storage.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 14 hours ago

Finally gets to visit the pope; does't get to fuck the fancy chairs. 😔

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 55 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, as far as popes go he was pretty chill

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Both chairs are still in the Vatican. It's like when people talked about Bezos driving his old car.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 40 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Still needed a way to finance a billion dollar corporation with tens of thousands of prime real estate all over the world managed by a legion of professional clergy all managed by a central office that is it's own country at the center of one of the most expensive cities in the world ..... all while spreading the message of piety, peace and being humble.

As much as everyone likes to glorify catholic leaders, they're still a mafia force that is based on money and wealth and Christian faith last

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 32 points 17 hours ago (8 children)

For sure, but as long as the mafia exists (which looks like it's going to be for a good long while still) I want it to have the leader who will do the most good possible, even if it's still a net negative. There are those out there who would use the resources to do a lot of harm.

The pope's death was God's plan. God is the murderer. (Again)

[–] LarryLurkman@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

Butthurt, his hallmark.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 26 points 15 hours ago

Vance took off his human mask and showed the pope what a demon looks like.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Being anywhere in Trump's orbit speeds up your trajectory towards death like Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan. Donald Trump is, essentially, a biological version of "The Machine" from The Princess Bride pushed to 50.

Since the pope was only secondarily contaminated, the process was slower, but he was already so close to death as it is.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 11 hours ago

Truth is, he wasn't trying to. Vance wanted to show off his zombie Jesus costume, but it turned out to be a killer costume!

(I just wanted to throw something in that isn't the same jokes everyone else is making)

[–] infinitevalence@discuss.online 13 points 14 hours ago

He thought it was the seat of Catholic power and was driven to a frenzy.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 77 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

The pope asked the Trump administration to be kind to immigrants and the poor. Can't have talk like that from the church.

The Pope showed him his latest meme

JD Vance Moisturize Me

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 107 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

He had his eye on a really nice couch in the lobby.

As a vampire, he has to drink the blood of a pontif to remain a daywalker.

He should now sparkle in the sun for another...6-8 weeks before needing to feed again.

The Pope refused to join his Signal group.
