Surprised it took them so long.

Benedict was pulled out for the Jesuit, and the Jesuit hijacker picked 4 of 5 voting cardinals (CCP gets to $elect Chinese cardinals).

I'm sure the next pope was fixed before Francis expired
Do you think Roger Goodell was involved or was he just too busy rigging the draft against Sanders?

friend of mine who is part of our football is Nova grad and was just down there last week meeting the Father Pete for a shindig as his rich father who is a bigtime real estate bigwig donated a bunch of money to Nova and they are having a room named after his grandfather. One thing though his father will not do his donate to NIL to pay athletes

Catholic Church needs no help in rigging things.
They avoided the black African cardinal the smart Catholics wanted - maybe be he wore his hat backwards?

Steve Bannon predicted the robed turkeys behind a wall would probably pick another subverter

It’s important to have priorities. The stock market won’t reach the levels he inherited until next year while we become a global embarrassment and plan a North Korea style military parade for Dear Leader’s birthday…

but hey! At least that 12 year old in Ohio can’t play on the school esports team for the Fortnite championships! Because you know, priorities!

(Hey Ash, I’m as liberal as you’ll come and I’ll be the first to tell you biological males need to stay out of women’s sports’. But you see foxnews tells you that we all think this way so wanted to clear that up for you bub👍🏾

I don't watch Fox News - or any TV news for that matter.
Even Bannon calls Fox "TV for stupid people."
As a kid I avoided stepping in dog mess - nobody had to teach me.
People like that avoid the red/blue soap opera and don't need TV channels or press - common sense radiates out.
Gabbard, RFK, Teamsters, Rogan, Michigan Muslims, Amish and others make-up a great middle that was locked out.

My family was part Catholic and part Jewish.
The modern Catholic Church is a rat's nest in Rome - its for women and landscapers.
One of the yearly laughs I have is seeing a pope kissing plastic dolls (Jesus) at Christmas.
I get the Reformation more and more but the Romans have the theatrics

I don't know who funded Milo and I didn't follow him. If Bannon supported him it would be because as a populist Bannon supports the voices of different people as long as they share populist ethos. Bannon was also open to Bernie and the Bernie Bros. Most of his shows begin with MSNBC or CNN clips. He doesn't like one sided "amen corner" media. He also promoted gays like Bessant, Grenell, Tammy Bruce for admin jobs.

Bannon went to Georgetown (MA) and Harvard Business School (MBA) .
He worked for Goldman in mergers/acquisitions and spent 10 years in the Navy.
He also worked in Hollywood and gets residuals for Seinfeld .
He has like a 180 IQ and any talk he gives is very clear and engaging (he spoke at Oxford and its on YouTube).
He's the reason for the 24 result
I wish I could say he sounds like an avatar from the clouds but he has such a broad base of experience he knows the seam between macro and micro better than most and the stiches are common sense

That’s awesome. He is a Sox fan, but he seems to have many other good qualities, so I’ll allow it. 😁
We need someone to add the gravelly PA announcer commentary too:

"A sixty-nine-year-old Cardinal from the southside of CHI-gagoooo and Villanoooova...LEEEEEEEOOO THE FOURTEEEENTH!!!!!!"

Damn, was really hoping we’d have a Pope Pizzaballa 🤌🏻
A lot of people were. Unfortunately the last guy stacked “progressive” bishops. Going to be a challenge to kill that wing, but possible. As we have seen in politics. Very similar.

Bleeding money and membership will help.

So you kept Cali's incendiary political OP up

His post was referring to a political picture he posted earlier that I deleted. You can infer from his post what the picture depicted. For please just leave it.

I see a number of posts have been deleted in this thread. Too bad, I was sincerely interested in discussing the comments about John Paul II and Vatican 2.

Fun Fact: Currently, six of the nine Supreme Court justices are Catholic: Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.

AHHH, you should really do some research on the MULTIPLE military parades that have taken place in this country throughout our history. The Grade Review after the Civil War, which took 2 days, 1942 a military parade took place in NYC followed by another taking place in the same city in 1945. In 1991 D.C. had one. These are only 4 examples. Why is McGuire allowed to have an open house May 17th - 18th of this year displaying aircraft and having The Thunderbirds perform? This isn't the 1st time they have done this. Are you against that also? Now there are people including myself who had family members in the army and feel it is GREAT to have this parade to honor them and the 250th birthday of the men and women who help protect us but because your TDS is acting up you are saying that this is all about President Trump? Please provide your evidence. My Father, and 2 uncles are waiting for your response.

The new pope is from the South Side of Chicago (actually, from a suburb just to the south, but his childhood parish was on the South Side) and the name he has taken is close to Leroy, so maybe someone can write some appropriate lyrics for this Jim Croce classic.

Justice Gorsuch was raised as a Catholic, although he is now a member of an Episcopalian church.

For a while, all the non-Catholics were Jews (Breyer, Kagan, Ginsburg) and so there were no Protestants on the Court. Beside Gorsuch, the only Protestant is Jackson, who describes herself as a nondenominational Protestant.

Gorsuch went to Christ the King Roman Catholic School and then Georgetown Prep (Jesuits). He attends an Episcopal church now, yes. But never indicated a conversion or a break from the Catholic church.

Correct. And his own brother says he's not sure how Gorsuch would fill out a form. But going to an Episcopalian church for at least 15 years is a pretty good indication of his current leanings. OTOH, there is a feeling in his family "once a Catholic, always a Catholic." The issue came up in his confirmation hearings, perhaps in part because there were some who thought there should be a Protestant on the court. He avoided giving a direct answer, which is fine, of course. After all, the Constitution forbids a religious test for office. https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/18/politics/neil-gorsuch-religion

But IMO…

BTW, Gorsuch's mother's maiden name was McGill. So he comes from a long line of Irish Catholics on that side.
