Personally, I subscribe to the counternarrative- he should've been dead already, but the chance to:
-Release a statement on Good Friday condemning Vance and his masters
-Big time Vance by relegating him to a meeting with a second-tier cardinal
-Eventually meet with Vance
-Bless the Easter crowd and have his aide deliver an address once again repudiating Vance, the people whose lap dog he is, and all that they believe
-Die
was too good to pass up. If it's not enough to make you believe in a divine entity who loves all, seeks to comfort and uplift the oppressed, and condemns the wicked, then at least it's a HOF moment in (the good kind of) Christian hatin'; up there with Jesus wrecking shop on the merchant tables in the temple or dropping sick bars on the pharisees. Only thing he could've done better was finish it off with an excommunication.
I wonder if the Pope raised the issues of inhumane policies towards migrants, and whether JD took an opportunity to lecture him on the grandeur of the Holy Roman and Apostolic Catholic Church? I mean, a good application of JD's lord and master's saying, "WWPD" - "What Would Peter [Thiel] Do?"
As Jesuits go (looking at you, Atlantic slave trade), Bergoglio seemed to mean well. I guess that's as good as we can expect from governmental leaders these days.
I’d probably give up on living too if I had to meet that soulless homunculus and realize humanity isn’t worth saving.
Also, how mad are the producers of Conclave that this shit didn’t happen a couple months sooner. They’d have swept the Oscars.
RIP Francis. Probably the best of a rotten bunch we’ll ever get for the diseased tree that is Catholicism.
I found out the pope died by seeing a "Let's have a conclave" edit of the scissor sisters song on tumblr.
If we don’t get a vaping pope I’ll riot.
My thoughts exactly. Well stated.

I’m convinced.
Of the two, that’s not the one I would have picked.
Perhaps it's a sign (one of many, I'm sure) that god has forsaken us.

Okay, that was a bit nihilistic...
