    On a slightly related note: could any US lemmings tell me why non-catholic christians in the US are so involved with the pope?

    I have a friend from KY who went to Rome and everything. I asked her why, since she’s protestant, and she genuinely did not understand the question. Her entire family was praying for the pope. And they are methodists?

    I have some catholics in my family and they would not bat an eye if the patriarch of Constantinople died. They consider orthodox Christians or protestants as a different religion.

    Look, nobody’s ever seen a pope like me before, folks. I’ve done more for Christianity than maybe anyone, ask anyone, they’ll tell you. The Vatican? Beautiful place, but it’s not winning anymore. We’re going to make the Church great again bigger congregations, stronger faith. Some of these cardinals? Total disasters. I’ve got the best relationship with the Bible. And frankly, people are saying lots of people that I’d be the greatest pope ever. Maybe even better than Peter. Not saying that, but people are.

      true! Plus, there are already a bunch of really bad popes in the history of Christianity that would give Trump a run for his money

    This kind of thing makes the idea of having a senile president very appealing.
