Either one or two.

One of them is super-duper conservative (hailing from Hungary, no less).

well he’ll probably win because now catholics across the globe won’t think twice about disagreeing with pope francis and his calls for compassion

Here are some of the most discussed candidates who may be considered to be the next Pope:

Pietro Parolin
Italian Pietro Parolin, 70, has been serving as the Vatican’s Secretary of State since 2013 and is the highest-ranking cardinal in the electing conclave. He is considered an expert on a number of geo-political issues. From 2002 to 2009, he was undersecretary of state for Relations with States and directed relations with Vietnam, North Korea, Israel, and China.

Péter Erdő
Péter Erdő, 72, would be a more conservative pick for the top post. In 2003, at 51, the Hungarian national was made one of the Church’s youngest cardinals after being appointed by John Paul II. He has opposed divorced and remarried individuals taking communion, believing that marriage is indissoluble, and is against same-sex marriage. His stance on immigration, a key issue in Hungary, has also come under fire in the past: he once compared taking in refugees to human smuggling, but is said to have changed his stance after a meeting with Pope Francis, who was much more liberal on issues of immigration and refugees.

Luis Antonio Tagle
If elected, Luis Antonio Tagle, 67, of the Philippines, would be the first modern-day Asian Pope. Currently serving as pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization, Tagle is more left-leaning, having spoken out against the isolating impact of the Church’s harsh language against same-sex marriage.

“Yes, I think even the language has changed already, the harsh words that were used in the past to refer to gays and divorced and separated people, the unwed mothers etc., in the past they were quite severe,” he said in 2015. “Many people who belonged to those groups were branded and that led to their isolation from the wider society.

Matteo Maria Zuppi
Italian Matteo Maria Zuppi, 69, has taken the lead from Francis in his attempts to foster a more inclusive environment within the church. He served as special envoy to Russia and Ukraine, and has engaged in dialogue with leaders in Kyiv, Moscow, Washington D.C., the West Bank, and Beijing.
He has been open about his acceptance of homosexuality and is also supportive of prisoners rights and the abolition of the death penalty, and in June 2023 he called for a “legal system that guarantees protection and welcome for all.”

zuppi got the juice

Fingers crossed for either Zuppi or Tagle.

and then we’ll pray for them to die asap

Yes, indeed, because the papacy shall be abolished.

Oh I didn’t realize this, I agree with Artie now

Assassins creed 2 was the best in the series

Why do you think so? (I've never played it.)

We’re saved!

See this artie? It’s f***ing OVER now

How do I tell my parents I might be bisexual
I think I might be bisexual, but I’m not really sure, and it’s been making me feel kinda confused. I want to tell my parents, but I’m scared they won’t understand or they’ll be mad—can you help me figure out what to say?

• Why wouldn't they? It's super common this day and age.
• Because the only (male) person I’m attracted to is Ken Carson, and I’ve never met him.

As long as there's hope (the two aforementioned at-least-quasi-progressive candidates), there's delusion, or something liike that.

Lots of stuff happening at work now

Cus he f***s the pope up

Oh, that's splendid.

Abolish the papacy.

NOW.

if catholics need an old white dude to remind them to be nice towards others then I am officially Pro-Pope in wake of this conversation

Too early to think about those cacs

That Hungarian candidate would be anything but that.
