I didn't think he would really do it.

He thought it was the seat of Catholic power and was driven to a frenzy.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 13 points 6 days ago

Because Elon wanted it. Vance doesn't have an ounce of initiative in his body. He doesn't need a reason other than his boss asked him.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 13 points 6 days ago

Because Biden is catholic

As a vampire, he has to drink the blood of a pontif to remain a daywalker.

He should now sparkle in the sun for another...6-8 weeks before needing to feed again.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Sparkling vice president was not on my political bingo card for this administration.

[–] lack@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

One thing I've learned is never try to beat a couch fucker at his own game

[–] Hikuro93@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Sure didn't see this one coming, ironically. Before the pope had passed away I commented this on another post.

Bet the poor Pope couldn't even attend because in addition to his health issues he must have felt the evil pressure oozing from Vance.

collapsed inline media

Welp, poor Francis. He was a good one, and difficult to replace especially in these uncertain times.

The silver lining is that he really made his last big act in life to admonish Vance, and by extension the Trump admin, about their wrongdoing. He has my gratitude for that.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't know the why but the first thing I said when I found out was "Polonium".

Given the conservative drift of major institutions over the past year or so whoever they pick for the new Pope is probably less likely to excommunicate him

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We’ll see how it goes but Francis chose a supermajority of the current Cardinals. With the exception of Cardinal Pizzaballa, I don’t know any of their names, much less their views.

Cardinal Pizzaballa

That cannot be his real name.

Looks it up

Huh, TIL.

[–] Sprawl@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The Pope cried out “take me JC!”

Unfortunately his right hand man is a bit hard of hearing, and let JD into the room…

JD got over excited by how the pontiff choose to couch his words.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

killed him to further the prophecy that this is the end times.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

If you're in the vatican, what else is there to do?

[–] obvs@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

JD Vance was the thing that made the Pope finally give up on humanity.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

He killed the pope then a couple days later started up a Muslim terror attack on Hindus so all the worlds major religions are at war

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Because the pope deadnamed him.

James Donald Bowman is a massive cuck and deserves to be reminded off his biological father for as long as people in the USA can't choose which gender they prefer.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I wonder if his ID matches his summoning certificate. 🤔

I asked ChatGPT to explain why JD Vance would kill the pope and it cited articles at me to tell me that JD Vance did not, in fact, kill the pope. I even tried to get it to doubt itself and it doubled down. If I have to live in slop world, I should at least be able to have fun with it :(

Homie has a problem with decency and people following the word of Jesus, despite publicly saying he is a Christian.

The flu of America*

Tap for spoiler*Formerly known as influenza or Spanish Flu.

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Fancy papal couches that were unfuckable.

Couldn't hear the safe word through the ball gag.

[–] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago

The pope told JD that no one in the tRump regime, or any other self-proclaimed christian in the USA was anything near being a christian. Per Matthew 25:40-45

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

I mean I don't think I know Vance killed him. See Trump can make stuff up why can't we.

Everyone here seems to be in on something that I've missed.

Edit: I read a reuters article, I see he met with JD yesterday.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

I THOUGHT this was FAKE NEWS but I'm seeing it All Over Facebook so it MUST be True that JD Vance KILLED the Pope!

-Republicans who Do Their Own Research and STILL Love Trump!

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Being anywhere in Trump's orbit speeds up your trajectory towards death like Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan. Donald Trump is, essentially, a biological version of "The Machine" from The Princess Bride pushed to 50.

Since the pope was only secondarily contaminated, the process was slower, but he was already so close to death as it is.

[–] RabbitBBQ@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

So a conclave power struggle is set off behind the scenes to try to install Cardinal Burke so that they have one less institution to get in the way

Well the Pope ghosted JD, so JD obviously ghosted the Pope.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Probably sitting on a couch he found really attractive and got jealous.

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

What's a Nazi's favorite color smoke?

White smoke.

(For all y'all non Catholics, the vatican has white smoke to signal when they elect a new pope...and ya know...JD Vance is a nazi.)

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's all that white on white, he kinda looked like a couch. He wasn't trying to kill him, but the old man was frail and looked too much like a cushion.

Truth is, he wasn't trying to. Vance wanted to show off his zombie Jesus costume, but it turned out to be a killer costume!

(I just wanted to throw something in that isn't the same jokes everyone else is making)
