(excerpt) Sedevacantism is a traditionalist Catholic movement which holds that since the 1958 death of Pius XII the occupiers of the Holy See are not valid popes
Since the death of Pope Pius XII… the same pope who, during WWII, remained silent on the Holocaust as it was in progress and which he was well aware of . Quite the pope to use as an example of a pope they could live with.

Genuinely has anyone ever been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn’t like you

I appreciate the sentiment, but I’m not sure about that part.

When I first saw his chosen name, for a nanosecond I misread it as “Louis XIV.” What does that say about me, I wonder.

I don’t know why I find this hilarious, but I do… like, priests, bishops, cardinals, popes are people and do people things. But somehow this tickles me.

Of course, most families have an asshole or two in them. Let’s hope it’s just him.

Almost my entire family were/are bigoted reactionaries. I have a couple cool cousins, but it took an attempted robbery by a white guy, and being rescued by a Black man for mom’s mom to get over her racism. Mom and I felt like freaks while I was growing up, dealing w/family gatherings. Ugh.

Yeah, that interview that @mindysan33 posted with the middle brother (John) was sweet, but you could tell that John didn’t really want to speak about what his older sibling in Florida thought about the youngest becoming a Pope. Now, I can see why the reluctance. Eeesh.

at least his OTHER brother seems like a decent, compassionate human being. i’ll note that at least until he became the pope, he had almost a daily phone call routine with his Chicago brother, and they play(ed) Wordle together. I haven’t seen any reports about him doing that with his Florida brother.

I think they’re more shocked to learn the new (official) pope is Christian that follows the teachings of Jesus. (And yes, I’m fine with sharing my title with this pope. Anyone that upsets RWNJs this much is deserving of a lot of respect.)

You both have to share the title with Pope Theodore II
and Pope Theodore II
Unfortunately the Catholics already had a Pope Theodore II over 1000 years ago, so they couldn’t choose that again.
