JD visits and the pope immediately goes to HR to complain.

People thought George Lucas was stupid for having Padme die of a broken heart.

The Pope literally lost the will to live after meeting Vance.

George is the genius of our time.

Looks like the voting starts today for the new pope.

Hugely hoping for Pizzaballa for the memes.

Black smoke. No pope today.

Seagulls got tons of media attention and now have their own twitter handles.

Those ass clowns will drag this out to milk the PR way longer than one day. It's their whole thing. They're not a subtle crew what with the gold and crowns and dresses and chanting...no way they knock this out in a day or two.

Francis two days, Benedict XVI two days, John Paul I two days, John Paul II three days.

John Paul I was a real drama queen though, only lasted a month

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/concla...39;s%20history.

Quote:
In the 13th century, it took almost three years — 1,006 days to be exact — to choose Pope Clement IV's successor, making it the longest conclave in the Catholic Church's history.

It's also where the term conclave comes from — "under lock and key," because the cardinals who were meeting in Viterbo, north of Rome, took so long the town's frustrated citizens locked them in the room.

The secret vote that elected Pope Gregory X lasted from November 1268 to September 1271. It was the first example of a papal election by "compromise," after a long struggle between supporters of two main geopolitical medieval factions — those faithful to the papacy and those supporting the Holy Roman Empire.

"This conclave is going to be a real big item. Every gang in the city is going to be there. Nine delegates, no weapons. Now Cyrus sent an emissary this morning and I gave him my word."
