They had experience with the furniture defiling VP in the past.

Being a pope from america is something different then being an american pope.

The Pope - "I Don't Think So Bitch I Will Hit You With My Holy Hammer"!
TheMershedPerderder
That is how you pope. Good.
Ardback
I am starting to like this Pope...

The 4th of july was originally meant to celebrate liberation from a dictator, i sincerely hope on the 250th anniversary we can celebrate it properly again...

Id love to see ICE go up against the Swiss Guard in a walled city.

Like, good for him, but the Catholic Church is still one of the most corrupt and evil organizations on the face of the planet.

He should excommunicate JD as a silly little gag.

My Catholic Relatives: The Pope is infallible, he is the ultimate authority of our church
Also my Catholic Relatives: The Pope said something vaguely woke? HE'S NOT MY POPE!
RainierAlt
Too bad that second part is also the position of the church. Higher-ups in the Vatican have definitely declared "but not that part!" to things Popes have said they don't like in the past.

Yeah so fun fact, there's no Hell in the Bible. (This is on-topic, I swear.) There's some other words that get translated as Hell, each with their own myths or backstories, in some Latin versions & later on in other languages: Sheol, Hades, Abaddon, Gehenna, Tartarus etc. One's a literal garbage heap.
Biblically, with no other canon, your "punishment" if you don't believe in god is that you don't get to hang out with god when you die. Pope Francis confirmed this unexpectedly during his papacy,
Feralkyn
which went against quite a lot of other basically fanfic-level canon that's long been accepted in Catholicism and other denominations. The Vatican was trying REAL hard to walk that one back, but it's kinda hard when THEIR source is "trust me, bro."

Leo heard what happened to the last pope jd spoke to

The Swiss guard has shoot on sight orders. (For basketball! They will shoot hoops with him if he shows up. What did you think i meant?)

Francis spent an hour with Bowman and decided to call in a favor upstairs to get him off this rock.
hotaru251
..honestly if it happened twice in a row you think the vatican would press charges?
TheAngriestBeardman
Nah. They'd just move Vance to a new parish and hush the news.

JD personally brought the invitation to the Pope and he survived!

July 4th is the anniversary of America's conception, not birth.
agentcutielocks
Life begins at conception according to certain morons.
CrisprCAS
Yeah, but I don't get presents for the day anniversary of my mom and dad doing the horizontal tango.

Funnily enough, the Declaration of Independence wasn't properly signed until August 2nd of 1776. which is when it'd actually have legal force. But that's a bit besides the point because the current US is actually the second iteration; the first was under the Articles of Confederation which ultimately collapsed within ~4 years. The US Constitution, which establishes the US as it currently exists, wasn't formalized until March 4, 1789.
CrisprCAS
The Constitution went into effect June 21st, 1788. The first Congress convened March 4th, 1789. I'd call that more the first words or first steps.
SamaelQliphoth
Fair enough, though still quite a bit later than July 4, 1776. I'd amend my comment, but Imgur lacks an edit function :l

He allows people to fuck children. Who cares?

This could apply to both of them, probably.

Vance or the Pope?

Yes.

The Catholic church has been (slowly) cleaning up its pedophile problem. Can't say the same for the US gov.

Badprenup
I mean that's good I guess but being the number one head honcho of the church, with full control over the church's "law", I would kind of expect them to do more than "Okay, we'll still keep your molesting of children a secret, but it's no longer considered an extra special pope secret. So don't let the authorities go too high up the chain of command or we'll tell on you."
MithridateEupator
I could give you more examples if you'd like, but I assume you'll just mostly repeat the same response for each one.
Badprenup
I would actually really like other examples, I just don't think that one is very good because it amounts to them *still* covering for child molesters.
Raising the standard of what is considered CSAM in the church's eyes to anyone under 18 was the better improvement listed in that article imo. Because they actually made it compliant with the standards of most modern, civilized countries.
BishlamekGurpgork
I mean, the essential objection is that even if policy has changed, it's not enough, yet, and I feel like that's a fair objection.
MithridateEupator
How are you measuring that?
