When I heard the news this morning, “Danny! Conclave!” was my first thought. And then a bunch of more serious anxiety and hopefulness about world trends. Thank you for more light-heartedness!
I must say that this is a wonderful take on the candidates for the next pope. I never thought about how they look! A new level of shallowness not likely to be surpassed by the Holy See. If only we could see casual photos of each at his favorite pastime? I would like to have seen their shoes. Custom Italian or Nike? That would say an awful lot.
Maaan, it’s definitely going to be the third guy. Yes, I know, I want Cardinal Cool Uncle too, with some awesome pope name that came out of nowhere, like, Pope Anton III, but no, it’s gonna be Pope Boring and everyone’s gonna act real excited about how he does something mildly unusual, like birdwatching. “Just like St. Francis!” No he is effing not. (I assume.)

My God, he’s done it again. The perfect analysis. Outstanding work all around.
I need Joseph Coutts as Jean Valjean in a regional theater production of Les Mis stat. Will also need him to play the priest.
We haven't had a bearded pope in centuries!!!
Joseph Cardinal Coutts FTW
Finally, someone is making the internet content I desire

Thank you for the Popeable teaching moment! Or teaching Popeable moment. Insightful and thoughtful. As all things Popeable should be. 🙌🏼
Chow Sau-yan -- too LinkedIn
Vesco -- too clandestine
Coutts -- too Santa Claus

Church giggles here too. I once had the first sentence of a short story: My ex-husband’s first wife’s boyfriend wanted to run for pope.
Fascinating faces!
This is the funniest thing I’ve read in ages. It gave me the church giggles. *Chef’s kiss*
*Whispers* Conclave!
[pounds on table] CON! CLAVE! CON! CLAVE!
You cannot convince me that Rainer Maria Woelki's photo wasn't generated by AI.
