Is it still a schism if there are a billion popes, or do we need a new word?

I have never seen an answer to this conundrum:

A congregant takes communion, then is hit with a bout of stomach flu after leaving the church and vomits on the sidewalk. What happens then?

Trump, being abnormal, would normally make that goofy move, but…

JMHO: Beautiful chess move by the conclave. A socially conscious American Pope. It’s like they froze Pope Francis in liquid nitrogen, lathed him down to a long slender dagger, then jabbed him straight into Trump’s doughy mug. And the choice could only inspire many, if not enough, conservative Christians in America to back away from Trump. And sweet choice of Prevost’s new handle. The poop on Pope Leo III. Prevost could have done just as well, if not better, if he chose “Francis II”, but I believe he chose to recognize Pope Francis’ uniqueness and acknowledge Mr. Bergoglio’s “ownership” of “Francis”.

Every time a new Pope is elected I have to dust off Anthony Quinn and watch The Shoes of the Fisherman.

If we don’t fall asleep after dinner I’ll put it on.

Very American reaction to the new Pope being from the US…

And this one… same dudes, me thinks?

We watch it every several years or so, mostly for the interesting politics outside of and inside of the Church. I wish they would give it a 4K restoration. The already fine DVD colors would explode off the screen.

Again, the cheering MAGAts are going to whine about being tricked. The willfully ignorant deserve all the scorn and ass-wads of schadenfreude heaped upon them.

“Dedicated to protecting the Holy Eucharist, blah blah blah…”

Protecting from whom or what exactly? They don’t seem to be recruiting theologians. What threats to the Church require the formation of a legion of brownshirts?
