No Pizzaballa for you!
I'm a little disappointed by that.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I log in to tell everybody about my overnight adventures, and get immediately upstaged by a new Pope.
(Housemate -- the spouse of the one who was on TV -- had a kidney-stone attack a bit after midnight. We just got home from Kaiser about an hour ago. Everybody's fine, but we didn't get much sleep.)
Here's hoping the new Pope isn't a dickhead.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
JD Vance has been a Catholic for less than six years, and he’s already been smacked down by TWO Popes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, American pope. If he thinks JD Vance is a prick, that's good enough for me.

Exactly. But I appreciate that he had Pope Francis's support -- I really admired the way he lived and what he preached, as well as his bone-deep kindness. Says the lapsed Presbyterian atheist, of course.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Francis was the best pope of my lifetime, but he still headed up one of the most corrupt institutions in the history of Western Civilization. One which normalized sexually abusing children and the cruelties and exploitation of the Magdelane Sisters and provided ratlines for Nazis and enriched themselves at the expense of the poor and fostered so many tortured guilty consciences for gays and women and...you know the score.
I'm happy for a Less Harmful Pope, but fuck the Catholic church. Fancy robes do not mitigate the evil and human suffering it is responsible for.
